British indie band Marconi Union wrote this eight minute track, called "Weightless", in collaboration with the British Academy of Sound Therapy in October 2011. According to scientists at the Mindlab institution, Marconi Union's Weightless induced a 65% reduction in overall anxiety and brought test subjects' resting pulse rates to 35% of their usual resting rates. The song features guitar, piano and manipulated field recordings. It is punctuated throughout by low tones that supposedly induce a trance-like state. This piece of relaxing music propelled the band into the worldwide media spotlight. In November 2011, Marconi Union were featured in Time.
