EPISODE 84: Raised in North Dakota\\u2019s cattle country, Neal Barnard grew up studying piano and cello. Barnard started composing and recording songs in the 80s. With a penchant for the avant-garde, Neal constantly writes songs that defy any genre categorization. He chooses unconventional time meters as well, in order to \\u201ctilt the song ever so slightly and give you that little jolt between the ears,\\u201d as he puts it. Barnard launched CarbonWorks at a 2016 event at New York\\u2019s Metrograph, hosted by Alec Baldwin and Maggie Q. Its line-up included singers from Italy, France, and the U.S., with rock and classical instrumentalists. While this is Barnard\\u2019s fourth album, following Pop Maru, Verdun, and CarbonWorks\\u2019 2016 release, he is better known as a medical pioneer who formed the Physicians Committee in 1985 to rally for prevention, nutrition, and higher ethical standards in research. In 2006, funded by the National Institutes of Health, Barnard used a low-fat vegan diet to revolutionize the treatment of type 2 diabetes and has used similar approaches to skewer weight problems, women\\u2019s health issues, and other medical challenges. \\u201cIn music or medicine, we have to look out of the box,\\u201d he says. Michael Friedman wrote in Psychology Today, \\u201cNeal Barnard has never been one to accept the status quo.\\u201d\\xa0twitter.com/DrNealBarnard\\xa0
