About this site
Built from the inside.
A patient-created resource for anyone using music during Spravato® treatment.
Why this site exists
Listening to Spravato® was created by someone who has been through the treatment — not as a clinician, but as a patient. When I started Spravato®, I quickly realized that the music I chose had a real effect on each session. The right playlist could open something. The wrong one could close it.
My core thesis is simple: Spravato® works by quieting the language center of the brain — the part that narrates, judges, and analyzes. Anything that re-engages that center — lyrics, guided meditations, reading, scrolling — works against the medicine. Pure instrumental music, chosen carefully, works with it.
There was no single resource that brought this together for patients. So I built one. Everything here comes from lived experience, music therapy research, and conversations with clinicians who care about the therapeutic environment. It is free. It always will be.
As covered in

About the creator
Justin Page
Jazz drummer · Composer · Author · Presidential Scholar in the Arts · Technology executive
Justin Page started formal percussion training at 11 under jazz drummer Eddie Locke, attended the High School of Performing Arts, and was the original drummer in Bill Charlap's early trio while both were students. In 1985, he was named a Presidential Scholar in the Arts and profiled in The New York Times, DownBeat, and Modern Drummer. He later studied composition at the Manhattan School of Music with Ludmila Ulehla.
In 1990 he left full-time performance to work in technology — eventually becoming SVP and Chief Information Officer at Muze Inc., a role reported in The Wall Street Journal in 1995. He founded Privacy Protection Ltd. in 2000 and introduced one of the first identity-theft prevention services. He holds U.S. Patent 7,540,021 for an identity theft protection system. He has appeared on Good Morning America and CNN on technology topics, and returned to recording in 2020 with Lost and Found, made with Kevin Hays, Justin Robinson, and Doug Weiss.
Then came Spravato®. Justin went through the treatment himself — following numerous suicide attempts — and quickly discovered that the music he chose had a direct effect on each session. No one had built a practical resource for patients on this. So he did. His book Listening to Spravato® (2026) led to the founding of Listening to Spravato LLC, which provides custom music, audio equipment, and phase-based musical structures for treatment centers.
His mission
To make Spravato® sessions gentler, more meaningful, and more human through the power of sound.
