Adrian DiMatteo is a graduate of the Eastman School of Music and a student of Maestro Manuel Rufino. For over 20 years, he has studied and traveled the world -- exploring sound, language, musical culture, and how they affect individual and collective well-being. With a holistic approach to science and consciousness, he offers a closer look at how sound itself impacts life.
Elements of Sound: A Full-Spectrum Exploration of Sound and Consciousness: Sound and silence are as essential to the human experience as breath and light. Like music, the universe is vibratory. Frequency is woven into the fabric of space and time. Elements of Sound explores these underlying aspects which can be harnessed for physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual purposes. Sound allows us to connect and inspire, to heal from suffering and to transform.
