Welcome to The Melomaniacs. Page contents What is a Melomaniac? What is a Melomaniac? melomaniac /ˌmɛlə(ʊ)ˈmeɪnɪak/ A passionate or obsessive enthusiast for music. A person that is inordinately and abnormally affected by musical or other tones in certain ranges of sound. The Melomaniacs is a multi-media news and events organization that was inspired by the overwhelming desire to connect people with what they love about music. Music has three avenues in which a listener can connect with it. We have our motor system – music that can make us move. We have our emotional system – music that can reach us deep at the core. And we have our cognitive system – music that can make us think. Music has the ability to greatly affect our psychology and music is inherently linked to our mood. We believe that music sounds the way we feel. We aspire to build a strong sense of community for like-minded people who enjoy music and the connections they make along the way.
