Highstein is a healer. Though his music is carefully thought out and arranged,
he believes its the positive energy and feelings conveyed through his
music that effects listeners. The son of a medical doctor, Highstein has
always been a musician, but for several years after college he studied
Oriental Medicine, philosophy, and metaphysics.
"My work in alternative healing eventually bridged back into music," he explains. "One day I sat at my piano improvising for a friend who said she could feel the musical energy in different parts of her body. Soon I began thinking in terms of making music to help people heal themselves."
Highstein has degrees in Jazz Improvisation, Counseling, and Spiritual Psychology. His album, The Healing Waterfall; A Guided Musical Journey has been a mainstay in metaphysical bookstores nation wide for over 10 years.
Max divides his time between producing music and designing graphics for print and the Web. He's a fly fishing enthusiast, and an equestrian, shown here with an old friend, Hondo. You can find out more about Highstein and his various pursuits by visiting his web sites, Desert Heart Multimedia,http://www.desertheart.com/ and Max Highstein Recording.

M. Highstein, M.D., Ph.D.
Professor
Department of Otolaryngology
Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology Our laboratory studies the neurophysiology and correlative morphology of the central and peripheral vestibular system. We are interested in the cellular determinants of the response dynamics of the vestibular semicircular canal afferent nerves. We are also presently concentrating on a study of neural plasticity (motor learning) in the vestibulo-ocular reflex of a small primate, the squirrel monkey. We have a long term interest in the central nervous system efferent control of the vestibular and auditory systems and in the synaptic organization of the neural circuits responsible for the generation and control of ocular gaze. Our overall goal is to understand the neural basis for the behavior of the organism, particularly behavior controlled by the brainstem

#vasfagh-8:Internationally
known sculptor Jene Highstein stands inside his Room with Ten Doors installation
at the Joseloff Gallery. The room was a model for a large-scale sculpture
that would be three to five times larger. Highstein said the work represents
his continued involvement over two decades with a vocabulary of forms
that share an affinity with the natural landscape as well as architecture.
Highstein’s sculpture has been the subject of more than
100 one-person and group exhibitions throughout the United States and
abroad.
Each scene as viewed through the doorways and the open roof of the Jene Highstein installation Room with Ten Doors is different and fluid. The exhibition at the Joseloff Gallery, which ran from April 12 to May 31, was composed of two separate yet related piecesâ€"a wall 35 feet long by 10 feet high and a small passageway leading to the elliptically shaped, stucco-walled room measuring 7 feet tall by 24 feet long. Highstein said the two structures are linked by scale and the transformation of space
