Turning family stories into personalized songs and calming visuals. A simple daily tool for connection and comfort.
A simple 4-step process from memories to music videos
Families share memories—names, places, rituals, favorite foods. These become the raw material for personalized songs.
We transform those stories into original, personalized music crafted specifically for your loved one.
Songs become gentle music videos with calming, music-responsive visualizers. No flashing. No harsh cuts. Just comfort.
Short, frequent sessions at the bedside or at home. Simple, repeatable, made for everyday care.

This is "The Piano Remembers" from Dean's Garden—created for a patient experiencing hospital delirium.
Memory Garden builds on established research in music therapy and person-centered care
Research suggests that personalized music can support mood, engagement, and daily comfort for people living with dementia. Cochrane Review, 2024/25

Important: Memory Garden is supportive care, not a medical treatment. Our specific approach is new and has not yet been validated in clinical trials. Always consult your care team for medical decisions.
"As Dean's niece, I felt powerless watching his dementia progress. When we created his Memory Garden, something changed. He started humming along. His eyes softened when the music played. It wasn't a cure—but it was connection. And that meant everything."

Often no. The default music-responsive visualizers are gentle, affordable, and effective for many people. Add imagery when there's a strong reason (e.g., reminiscence for dementia, parent reassurance for kids).
Short and frequent beats long. Most conditions benefit from 5-15 minute sessions, 2-4 times daily. See our Effectiveness guide for condition-specific recommendations.
There's strong research behind music-based support and orientation practices. Memory Garden's specific pipeline is new and designed to align with that evidence base. We're pursuing partnerships to evaluate outcomes more formally.
Technically, a Memory Garden can be completed in 3-6 hours. In practice, most families prefer 1-2 weeks to allow time for thoughtful memory gathering, song review, and one round of refinement. We work at your pace through the collaborative process.
We're in Beta phase and exploring different models. Pricing depends on the number of songs and whether you add photos/video. Contact us to discuss your needs.
Yes. We design with safety first: no flashing, slow transitions (3-5 seconds), stable brightness, calming colors. All visuals are engineered to soothe, not stimulate.
