Dos Meditations is an exploration of sound upon matter and why matters in the fields of art and science.
I had a deep urge to create after not creating for a very long time during the pandemic. It was because I had suffered great loss shortly before the world shut down and I was accepting the deep empty. Once we understand the void as pure potential, it no longer becomes a scary fear on a pedestal. The void is where all creations exist and each artist accept the call to bring them into the world, through them. I don’t take this call lightly, but for years I ignored it. Dos Meditations is the result of sitting inside my curiosities of sound and where I want to go next in my own creative life.
I randomly met David and I explained how I build textures and think of sonic landscape and my desire to explore how we can traverse these landscapes. I wanted to understand how our body reacts and responds to sounds and textures on a physical level and how this physical affect can change our thinking….and….he dove in to my vision and we’ve been exploring this project for 2 yrs now. We’re very excited to begin releasing tracks and collaborations with different artists and have deep dive conversations with other sonic explorers in our upcoming Podcast- SoundSynapses.
I can’t wait to send these track out and see what happens. Thanks for tuning in. – ANNA

Anna Fitzgerald is a Creative Flow State Coach & Founder of Dos Meditations. Her background is in a variety of arts fields such as music performance, arts nonprofit management, music industry, and multi-media arts.
Her work & research which bridges culture, art, and science into everyday lifestyle. While not everyone is an artist, she brings out your individual ability to become clear about goals and become unstoppable toward whatever you want to create in your life.
She’s worked with artists, musicians, dancers, photographers, writers, actors, designers, and entrepreneurs of all kinds. She holds a degree in Art Education and a master’s in Radio/TV/Film in Media Studies. Her specialty is adaptation of lifestyle using heart rate variability (HRV) and creative purpose as a compass for living and creating without burnout.
Dos Meditations was created from a deep desire to be lost in atmospheric meditations. For many years Anna would try listening to different meditation and focus tracks and have a hard time because of her sensitive ears and background as a musicians. The tracks she found were very distracting and she was losing faith in ever finding great tracks her ears could get along with. THEN, she found David and asked if he would help create tracks that eliminated the distraction and had a distinct sound. He agreed and then Dos Meditations came to life!
David Braxton is a Multi Instrumentalist and Freelance Producer/Audio Engineer with more than 13 years of experience in the music industry. He specializes in providing high quality sound for Artists, and Television music supervisors.
What stands out most of all is his work in Music Production. He was raised on piano, but since has expanded his pallet to Bass, Drums, Guitar, Saxophone, and Violin. Being a Multi-Instrumentalist has easily made him a “Go to” guy for sync production cues. On any given day there’s a great chance that a number of his works are in rotation on MTV, E!, Fox Sports, Cartoon Network, & ESPN.
David is recent transplant to Virginia by way of Los Angeles, where he worked on multiple projects under Aftermath Ent., Atlantic Records, and Island/Def Jam. Some of his work behind the boards can be heard on Asher Roth’s “RAWTHER2”, as well as, on Multi-Platinum Artist D.R.A.M. “#1Epic E.P/Album”.
This is an excerpt from my research proposal submitted and reviewed by the Flow Research Collective with mentorship from Dr. Michael Mannino during the Flow Coaching Accelerator program (submitted in 2021), now called High Flow Coaching.
I am seeking to further my research and would love to be connected with anyone who knows of grant resources for this research, any institution that collaborates with artists for this type of research, or anyone willing to fund this type of research.
If you’d like to be a guest to talk about Flow with me on my upcoming podcast, please contact me using the contact form on this site.
From my research proposal:
Musical Structure, Therapeutic Well-Being, and the Flow Cycle
By: Anna M. Fitzgerald
“The purpose of this Magnum Opus project is to further support my Massively Transformative Purpose (MTP) through the lens of science. Intuitively, I have used my own voice and music as sonic therapy as means to navigate emotions, especially during times of grief, anxiety or sadness. As I became more interested in flow after losing my father in a tragic plane crash, I began to seek to prove my intuitive knowledge of how music can heal and relate to the brain and body. Having sung and played multiple instruments for over twenty years, I’ve felt the physical effects of performance through my voice and the vibrations of the cello. To play the cello, one must wrap around it and physically connect to the instrument in three major areas; both legs, the chest, and the fingers. When I learned the vagus nerve wraps around the vocal cords, along with several major organs of the body, I knew that “tuning” the instrument of the body was what I had done through using my voice.
In an effort to understand how to soothe my own brain and body after a devastating tragedy, I chose to study how recorded music affects Heart Rate Variability (HRV.) This question has grown in popularity among scientists recently, and the answer could change how the world views the value of musicians. Musicians can be seen as a new class of therapists, and while music therapy has gained slight traction over the last fifty years, the phrase “starving musician (or artist)” still exists. This study can contribute to the field of flow science and psychophysiology to begin to show how music tempo can improve HRV. If proven, this research could change the cultural and financial landscape of musicianship. The opportunity to improve the artist’s material life is echoed in Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s book, Creativity: Flow and the Psychology of Discovery and Invention (1996), where he says, ” ‘In our culture, a huge number of talented and motivated artists, musicians, dancers, athletes, and singers give up pursuing those domains because it is so difficult to make a living in them’ ” (p. 333).
