‘Functional’ music: 
[home]
Music stimulates the senses and the mind in another
way than words or visuals do.
With ‘functional’ music we refer to music where it’s effect is used with a purpose. A few examples to explain:
Brainstorm music: You are in a
meeting for a brainstorm session or to think of some creative solutions.
Talking would
disturb your concentration, visuals would distract you, because the shapes
are already very
concrete and silence tends to make people a bit nervous.

can produce special music: relaxing and
stimulating your creativity.

deeper parts of your personality it will evoke new ideas and positive

Soothing music: In some
situations Schipper’s music can literally have a healing effect.
It relaxes and expresses the joy of life.
This music will
be ideal in for example a waiting room, a hospital, a nursing home or a home for
elderly people.
Soulful background music: Music for
shopping malls, airports, hotel lobbies, and other public places.

Schipper’s music has the capacity to be present
on the background, yet creating a warm,
welcome and inviting atmosphere.
Depending
on the moment of the day the music can be refreshing,
stimulating and exuberant,
or creating a relaxing and reflecting mood. This
music will give the, often rather anonymous, public places a ‘soul’.
