MUSIC
Things that accord in tone vibrate together
(Confucius commenting on the fifth line of the Ching hexagram n. 1 Ch’ien / The Creative)
Since I can remember, music has spoken to me as an ancestral language. I naturally felt the call of rhythm; I experimented with drums and general percussion, the heartbeat of the body, the hands striking wood, the breath becoming pulsation.
Later, in 2015, I began to approach the piano, both acoustic and digital, and keyboards with non-conventional layouts, exploring for example the isomorphic keyboard, where the sonic horizon expands beyond traditional geometry.
But the most powerful call, the one that guided me toward a new threshold, was that of sound synthesis. I began to study and delve into it on my own, venturing into the invisible art of sound generated, shaped, and molded from silence.
Over time, my interest naturally focused on three currents, which should not be read as mere static “types” of synthesis, but rather as approaches, as keys that open inner doors: microtonal synthesis, algorithmic synthesis, and granular synthesis. Here it is worth clarifying: microtonal synthesis is not a physical method in itself, but rather an approach to the fine-tuning of frequencies.
Any synthesis method (subtractive, additive, frequency modulation, etc.) can be used to create microtonal sounds, provided that the instrument supports fine adjustment of tuning, that is, support for scales with intervals smaller than a semitone.
Algorithmic synthesis, on the other hand, describes a process based on rules or algorithms for the creation of sound: it is not about the physics of sound generation itself, but rather an engine that can determine parameters such as envelope, waveform, and modulation within a pre-existing synthesis type. It can be used, for example, to generate complex waveforms in additive synthesis, or to create chains of effects and modulations procedurally, or to define the structure of a musical composition.
In summary: the first represent the ways in which sound is generated, while the latter represent the approaches, the technical-creative “mantras”, through which those ways can be musically manipulated.
In my work I have perceived that these three approaches, microtonal, algorithmic, and granular, can intertwine, overlap, and converse with one another, and when they do so with awareness, especially when processed through long single or multiple delays and deepened by generous reverbs, they open a sonic space where creativity is liberated and the deepest self awakens.
It is precisely this conviction, the trust in the power of sound as an agent of transformation, that led me to explore the therapeutic dimension of music, and to consider my music as a form of meta-research: I first experiment on myself with the effect of my compositions. It is a path of research-through-sound, where every listening, every breath, every vibration has become ground for inner observation.
Scientific research today increasingly recognizes that acoustic stimulation, sounds, music, filtered noises, can have measurable effects on sleep quality, anxiety, and certain brain rhythms. This gives me a solid basis to affirm that my work, though intuitive and poetic, is not an escape into myth but a practice that dialogues with science. For example, a recent meta-analysis has shown that acoustic stimulation can significantly improve insomnia symptoms and sleep quality. PubMed / Frontiers.
Other studies show that music, as an intervention, can improve sleep latency, sleep duration, and subjective rest satisfaction. NCCIH.
Another study specified the possible mechanisms: relaxation, distraction from inner thoughts, synchronization of biological rhythms with musical structures, masking of background noise, emotional enjoyment, cultural expectation. PubMed.
In this context, my music is not simply “music” in the traditional sense: it is a journey, an encounter, an awakening. When I approach instruments, I do so intuitively: a musical spark takes form, first imagined, then made concrete through improvisation. Often a sound accompanies me for weeks, continuously, gently, even during my yoga and meditation practices; it becomes part of my days and then flows into a study of sounds in my recording studio.
Over time I have understood that by combining acoustic instruments, percussion, harmonic drums, and so on, with analog synthesizers and real-time processors/samplers, I can create a harmonious, living, and engaging flow. For me, the analog and/or digital synthesizer is sonic poetry: it can free that hidden side of sound that often remains beyond hearing, and it allows me to work with precise frequencies, with the “inner spaces” of sound. It opens subtle dimensions, more subtle than those to which ordinary rationality is accustomed.
When I create, I always seek that sonic vastness which allows creativity to be freed and reconnected to our deepest being. Because sound has power: it can produce different sensations in each person, acting as a form of sound therapy.
My goal is to offer the listener not just a musical track, but a sonic landscape in which to rediscover oneself, to re-tune, to resonate. I do not always know what the destination of the musical journey will be, nor what its ultimate purpose is, and perhaps that is not the point. I firmly believe that my music itself knows its own way; it becomes a guiding force that leads me into unexplored territories of creativity and emotion.
My music also speaks to the visual dimension, I deeply love it.
I love video authoring and poetic writing.
For each composition I also personally create the accompanying videos: I build visions born from what the music tells me. And in the video, images also become frequencies, because colors are frequencies, and the movement of images is vibration. Thus video and audio weave a single experience, offering the listener-viewer a multisensory, unique, and captivating encounter: sound and vision vibrating together. It is an invitation to listening, but also to observation, to breathing, to immersion.
The relaxation and focusing techniques that precede individual or group sessions (The Silent Healing Experience®) are also an integral part of my work: meditation, mantra, moments of silence and presence, in which one connects with one’s own vibration, keeping the creative and evolutionary potential alive. It is a ritual: a preparation to receive, to be touched by sound, to allow oneself to be transformed.
And then, there is the contact with nature. I love to play for the trees, the plants, the animals that inhabit parks; the interaction of frequencies between the human being and nature fascinates me deeply. My music is also a form of gratitude for what this great soul, Mother Earth, performs for us, a vibrant thank-you through percussion, synthesizers, breath, and echo.
In describing “what I do,” in telling my vision, I want to invite you, who are reading, to listen. To desire to listen. To let yourself go. Because each of my pieces is not merely a sound to perceive: it is an invitation to vibrate. To let your soul vibrate. To move with the invisible current that connects all things, from the sound of the wind to the beating of the heart, from the expanse of the night to the silence that follows.
If this journey intrigues you, if you feel within yourself a call to the mystery of sound, to the power of frequencies, then allow the sound to enter, to move, to transform you. I do not promise that it will be comfortable: sometimes one descends into that luminous abyss where everything vibrates and everything transforms. But I promise you, it will be worth it.
In this space, between acoustic and analog-digital, between microtonal and algorithmic paths, between extended reverbs and deep delays, I explore, accompany, and create. And I would like you to be part of it. To listen not only with your ears, but with your soul. To step outside the usual, the predictable, and let yourself resonate.
Welcome to this journey.
Welcome to the frequency.
Welcome to the resonance of sound that heals.
Welcome to the beauty of improvisation that becomes form, and of form that comes alive.
Welcome toward what we do not yet know, but can explore together.
Thank you.
