In related news:
Erasmus Darwin held that every so often you should
try a damn-fool experiment. He played the trombone
to his tulips.
This particular result was, in fact, negative.
That's from "A Mathematician's Miscellany" by Littlewood, which is an excellent collection of quirky bits and pieces of this kind. Highly recommended.

Any 'experiment' of this sort that isn't double-blinded and controlled is not worth doing, and shouldn't even be considered news.
We live in a world where decades later our culture is still reading and (even making movies!) about Masuru-Emoto-style bullshit because we don't teach our children science properly.

The very finest cheeses, I suspect, will benefit from live performances instead of canned recording played through some cheap speaker. Perhaps he should hire a chamber music ensemble to play to the cheeses every day.

I’ve toured an artisanal bourbon distillery in Kentucky that does something similar while the bourbon ages in barrels. The music plays loud around the clock to keep it vibrating (among other things).

A true con men.
What begged the question: Why is there the Apple (record company) logo on the picture, if he claims to play Led Zeppelin?
