ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE What is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback is biofeedback for the brain. Biofeedback can measure heart rate, skin temperature and also the electrical rhythms of the brain. When brain waves are out of balance, we can have a range of symptoms: too many fast frequencies can produce trouble sleeping and anxious feelings. If the brain waves are too slow, it can affect focus and mood issues. In a session, sensors are placed on a client’s scalp to monitor brain waves. The process is non-invasive, and can be used to gather information into a brain map. Clients can then learn how to slow down or speed up their brainwaves with Gretchen Morse, DMA, real time feedback during the follow-up sessions. Optimizing BCNS and balancing brainwaves can impact a variety of symptoms. MID-MICHIGAN A recent client had tried multiple interventions for traumatic NEUROFEEDBACK stress, but had not seen the relief they desired.

Sen Morimoto Lady Ace Boogie Matthew Milia

Each year, the Capital City Film Festival hosts not only a variety of screenings, but also a long run of carefully-curated concerts. Here’s a quick rundown of just some of 2019 lineup, which runs April 11-21, at various venues across Lansing. The full schedule, including ticket prices, is at capitalcityfilmfest.com.

Thursday, April 11: The Avenue Café, 9 p.m. Headliner Sen Morimoto released his debut jazz-rap LP, “Cannonball,” last year and has since garnered acclaim from music critics, who praised the Chicago-based lyricist and multi-instrumentalist for his abstract approach to jazz, hip-hop, indie-pop and R&B. His use of live instruments and innumerable auditory moods were praised by Pitchfork, who said, “The record moves like a kite in steady wind, dipping, swaying and wrinkling in unexpected and deeply satisfying directions.”Openers: MikeyyAustin, Creature of One.

Friday, April 12: The Avenue Café, 9 p.m. In February, The Cowboys unveiled its fourth LP, “The Bottom of a Rotten Flower,” and now the Indiana boys bring that fresh bag of majestic lo-fi tunes to the Capital City Film Festival. The band echoes a mixed bag of tried and true music — from jangly folk-rock and ‘70s rock ’n roll, to Britpop melodies and garage-rock riffing, there’s no shortage of well-crafted DIY songwriting. Openers: Flatfoot, La La Delivery.

Saturday, April 13: The Avenue Café, 9 p.m. The Free Bleeders are a Motor City-based riotgrrl band on a mission. The outfit is steeped in feminist ethos, and has no problem communicating its progressive message through strong, fiery punk tunes. According to their bio, their goal is to: “Call out oppression and confront racist, sexist, classist, homophobic, ableist, and all other marginalizing and aggressive behaviors ...” Openers: Scary Women, GIRL FIGHT, Lonely Arms.

Saturday, April 13: The Loft, 7 p.m. The Crane Wives’ soaring new single, “Hollow Moon,” is a prime example of the group’s distinct brand of indie-folk-rock-pop. The West Michigan-based group, led by songwriters Emilee Petersmark and Kate Pillsbury, has been sonically evolving since its 2010 inception, and is well documented on a series of singles and four full-length albums, including the 2016 “Foxlore” LP. Openers: Olivia Millerschin, Brother Elsey.

Friday, April 19: The Avenue Café, 9 p.m. Lady Ace Boogie may be an Atlanta native, but she’s been a force in the Grand Rapids hip-hop scene since her 2015 album, “Feel Good Music,” put her on the map and won her a 2016 “Best New Artist” Jammie Award. For those who appreciate the thoughtfulness of classic hip-hop lyricism, delivered over fresh, audibly innovative beats; Lady Ace’s latest LP, “Don’t Box Me In,” is a must have. Openers: Jahshua Smith, Shamar Alef.

Friday, April 19: Mac’s Bar, 7 p.m. Mac’s Bar is the spot this April for new, locally-made music. Two fixtures will perform tracks from their new LPs:Wally Pleasant, who just released his long-awaited “Happy Hour” LP, headlines the evening while Frontier Ruckus’ Matthew Milia opens the show. This gig offers a sneak peek at Milia’s forthcoming debut solo album, “Alone at St. Hugo.” Recorded on a reel-to-reel tape machine, the harmony-laden disc combines Big Star-esque power pop with Milia’s signature poeticism.Opener: Blaine & His Keyboard.
