Our Story

JourneyBox creator, John Petersen, is a Certified Integrative Sound & Music Practitioner, composer, and sound designer who uses both music and sound as tools for healing, positive cognitive change, and meditation. A pioneer in electronic music, sampling, and sound design, John became a highly sought-after soundtrack composer and is well renowned as the creator of MTV’s now legendary “Man On The Moon” theme, along with his compositions for Miami Vice, Voltron, HBO, and numerous other television and movie soundscores.

With JourneyBox, John expands his voice as a soundtrack and ambient music artist towards his interest in integrating sound into wellness practices. Conceived as a simple, effortless way to unplug and disentangle from life’s daily stresses, JourneyBox incorporates the sounds of non-Western instruments, including hand-crafted Nepali singing bowls, tuning forks, shruti boxes, tingshas, and bells along with nature sounds, therapeutic drones, and atmospheric soundscapes. This unique combination of sound healing elements, ambient layers, and proprietary techniques helps quiet the mind and bring the listener from a state of imbalance to balance; from discord to harmony.

As the known health benefits of sound and music have increased tremendously in recent years, John has found a new passion as a composer and sound artist. John bridges the art and science of sound to literally shift mood states and facilitate inner calm, creating his signature Sound Journeys to bring a sense of stillness, and to allow anyone access to a rich healing experience.

Science has proven that sound and music can reduce anxiety & depression, calm the autonomic nervous system, slow down brain activity, and elicit many other beneficial physiological responses.
