So what is The Spirit of Music all about? It’s something that touches every musician and listener out there, who in the end are the same energy.
The same consciousness.
The same Self that resides within me and you, as me and you.
That’s why music connects with us in such a deep way. A perfect melody can make us tear up.
It’s why I create music.
It’s why we listen to it.
The Mystical Beginnings of Music
So music is always heard when people are having a good time. It really is all about the music.
That’s why I believe that music is of mystical beginnings.
It can take us to other worlds where our consciousness is not the same.
That’s why they think that a song is a sacred thing.
Perhaps you’ve heard of it, too.
I like to sing along with my favorite tunes always and I really enjoy all kinds of gigs, including trance shows.
I am also a music producer/DJ so if you ever want to, it should be possible to hear me play live at one point or another.
In the future I will also work on my own DJ:ing format Veneto Mixtape which is a weekly show right now it’s been on YouTube and i should get it up on Spotify also for a weekly show.
Right now I am on a break from it due to personal issues and a lack of money.
First I need to invest to the DJ gear and stuff.
So music can bring forth feelings of ecstasy, euphoria and a relief from stress. That’s why I always loved to listen to it and still listen to music every day and make it quite often too.
My Ideas About Music
So what are my ideas about it? I really haven’t explored this question much before so bear with me as I try to come up with a comprehensible answer.
Like said I never really asked myself this question although I did think of it a little before I got started producing just a few years ago.
Anyways. Music and dancing are a great exercise and I think one of the most addicting parts about music is the steep learning curve of it, it can truly take a decade to learn to play an instrument and that is really something that can teach us a lot about life.
Piano Is My Teacher
For example I’ve been piano on and off since a kid and started focusing more on it lately and I still can’t play any of my favorite songs. So it really is a huge teaching, since I learn piano really slowly and it takes a lot of effort. Then you see these people on YouTube and stuff being real masters at it. So it’s pretty humbling to be honest.
Music remains a huge thing in modern culture and is present at most parties that people have and the music choice is really important.
So that’s why I think being a DJ at the party is a huge honor, for people to trust you with the choice of music being played.
Is Music Spiritual?
I definitely think that music is a journey and it’s a journey towards more understanding and greater happiness, so literally a similar journey to what you would think a spiritual journey boils down to.
The Grammy winning bassist Victor Wooten taught me about this aspect in his great book The Music Lesson.
So yeah. That’s what I think about music and my musical journey started when I was a child listening to my mp3 player and since then I’ve produced around 300 songs myself and even tested my skills as a DJ a few times.
Going further I would really love to play a gig or something if people want to hear it.
Sacred Songs
So for example in the tradition of Non-Dual Shaiva Tantra, there are sacred songs from the tradition which are sung in Sanskrit. Some of my favorite genres are western electronic dance music and then I like to dabble in more exotic music like yoga music and mantras being sung and instruments like Sitar and even stuff like Tibetan Singing Bowls and Drone music and really all kinds of different stuff, metal sometimes and maybe jazz and pop and really all kinds of music. I rarely hate on any music, I tend to love most of it.
