Music For Cats
Music For Cats is an original music project that combines downtempo electronic beats with soothing cat purrs. These unique compositions were created by Irish music composer Conchúir O’ Drona (From The Bogs of Aughiska, Drugzilla, Fox Oak) with the help of his feline friends.
When FROM THE BOGS OF AUGHISKA front man O’Drona was struggling to write the follow up to the bands acclaimed second album ”Roots of This Earth Within My Blood” as a bit of fun he recorded the purring of ones of his cats and mixed it with some ambient music.
The result was the track ”Freya purrs” which then went viral upon release. Since its creation in 2016, the success of Music For Cats dwarfs all of O’Drona previous musical projects and currently has over over 9 million streams on Spotify alone!
Not only are cat purrs calming to listen to they also have medical benefits. A cat purrs within a range of 20-140 Hz which is known to reduce stress levels, lower blood pressure, help heal infections, and even repair bones!
