Imagine this moment: an eternal sunset, where golden light gently filters through the branches of ancient pines, filling the air with a mysterious glow. In this magical instant, a melody begins to emerge, one that no science can fully explain. It is like a barely perceptible breeze, whispering tales of distant times where neither time nor space existed—only an endless sense of connection.
But this is not just a sound. It is the voice of the Universe itself, a long-forgotten harmony that has been used by civilizations throughout history to heal both body and soul. The ancient Egyptians, who wove music into their sacred rituals, understood that a melody could heal wounds invisible to the eye. Pythagoras and his followers, attuned to the music of the spheres, believed that sound could restore balance to the human body, bringing the mind and soul into harmony. Even the Chinese concept of “yin and yang” found resonance in music, where each note and scale could correct imbalances within the body in ways that other methods could not.
Music: A Bridge Between Reality and Dream
It is said that music, especially the sound of the flute, has the power to transport you to a state where time and anxiety cease to exist. Scientific research, the very studies that seek to quantify the intangible, supports the notion that the soft, elusive sound of the flute can reduce anxiety and help individuals reconnect with fragmented parts of themselves. It evokes a strange, comforting feeling of return—a sensation that may have been lost since childhood, when magic still felt real.
But this is not just a feeling. Clinical trials have demonstrated that music, when played during medical procedures, reduces the need for painkillers and accelerates the healing process. The influence of music on the mind and body is a reminder that certain ancient wisdoms, long dismissed, continue to hold power in our modern world.
Music from the Heavens: The Technique of Transcendence
Isn’t it a miracle? Through my own unique technique of playing the modern transverse flute, what might otherwise remain just an instrument becomes, in my hands, a key to the invisible. The sounds that emerge are not simply notes but an experience—an ethereal moment that cannot be captured or reproduced.
When I play, it feels as though the flute itself whispers melodies from realms beyond. Our recordings—whether meditative or improvisational—are never the same. They carry with them the sensation that the heavens and the earth are merging and singing through us, creating something new each time.
The Voice dell’Anima Project: A Flow Beyond Time
In collaboration with Kirill Bogomilov, we have created music that has no parallel—a soundscape that breathes with ancient Slavic and Native American motifs, merging them with echoes of the universe’s memory. Listening to our music is like descending a slippery slope, where each sound holds within it everything that has been and everything that could be.
Kirill, a master multi-instrumentalist, arranger, and composer, adds profound depth to our improvisations, as though ancient spirits themselves are guiding the music. His contributions shape our sound, making it feel as if every note carries the weight of forgotten histories and untold stories.
An Invitation to Journey Through Sound
Voice dell’Anima is not just music; it is an invitation to step into another world—one where there is no rush, only the present moment in its infinite unfolding. It is a soundscape that defies description, a gentle touch to the soul that makes you believe all we truly need is to pause and listen.
In this wondrous journey through space and time, each note invites you to forget the burdens of the earthly world and simply be—to witness the rebirth of the world with every sound that emerges from Voice dell’Anima’s music.
