A short clip of Composer David Teie (Music for Cats) explaining his inspiration behind how he crafted the unique music in his album.

David Teie from University of Maryland creates Music for Cats featuring purring, suckling noises and cello to calm felines.

David Teie was born into a musical family, one of a third generation of professional musicians. By the time he entered college he had set aside studies of piano, saxophone, and singing to concentrate on the cello. He worked with Stephen Kates and Berl Senofsky at the Peabody Conservatory where he received his Bachelors and Masters degrees and the Wertheimer award for cellists, and with William Pleeth in London on a Fulbright scholarship and studied composition with John Corigliano.

David Teie, a soloist with the National Symphony Orchestra, recently teamed up with animal scientists to develop Music for Cats, a series of whirring, lilting and at times squeaky musical tracks designed for cats’ brains and ears.
