OTTAVIANO

OTTAVIANO is a philosophical song embedded with serene detachment and built on essential naked lines. Just my saxophones and Chiara Scotto's voice to support this structure.

As it is in greek-roman tradition, where austere stoicism and sober epicureanism coexist, the lyrics talks about time. Time is an unforgiving deity but the immortals can watch the world only through our eyes.

Other tunes of this kind will be added in the future along with original compositions. A n

SONIC MEDITATIONS

As a corollary of the new type of music therapy I am creating here at University of Malang, I am composing a set of tunes based on the structure of indian ragas and other early western musical forms. They are intended to be used as sound meditations to strenghten the healing process. Here I am practicing with Chozin around some traditional scales. I am confident this new music therapy could treat most common psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression, which cases are increasing in numbers because of the pandemic. Hope to put something together soon to help people stand up this difficult moment with a quick and efficient remedy.

MUSIC THERAPY IN INDONESIA

Image
The day October 23, hr 18:00 local hour, I'll be guest at Brawijaya University of Malang for a lecture on Music and Art Therapy. I'll give general guidelines on the subject and perform live examples to show these new therapies in action.  This conference, among others I gave in Indonesia, is one of the first in this genre. With UM, the University of Malang, we are currently working at a quantitative research in music therapy. Hopefully In the future I will be able to frame a brand new protocol to treat several psychological disorders. If you are interested in the subject or willing to collaborate PM me. Thanks!🙏 #musictherapy #arttherapy #malang #indonesia #Brawijaya
