In our society music is rampant everywhere, in every dimension of life and in many forms.
But how is it presented to us in its everyday reality? Surely, we know it as an act of leisure, relaxation, as an object of intellectual disquisition. Sometimes, in our empty moments, we use it as a psychological crutch, becoming almost addictive for those to whom silence is a prohibitive dimension. The organs of communication know the story-telling power of music, putting it practically everywhere, to the point that music has become a sort of bread and butter for the world, although often we cannot taste its flavour.

In concert halls, we all know the modern ceremony in which, on the altar of the stage, the artist-priest performs the ritual of transfiguring matter through sound. We know this ceremony to the point that the habit, perhaps, takes away the sacredness. This often gives way to a daily desecration of sound and to the acceptance of the  aspects of the modern artist’s ego. On the other hand, having understood the symbolic power of music, we know how much it is a powerful means to get in touch with the higher parts of the psyche; a portal between the physical and the so-called metaphysical world, or – depending on the language – between conscious and unconscious, between the human being and the divine.
Whether inserted in a religious context or simply as a pure and agnostic experience of the numinous, music has always had the ability to move the attention of human beings towards inscrutable and indescribable mystery, because it is incomprehensible to reason.

If on one hand music is an aesthetic, social, and commercial experience, on the other hand we find music in archaic, often primitive, new-age music forms. These result in a particular ancestral taste that, nevertheless, is not always able to describe the individual in his/her entirety. Where, then, do we find the real transformative power we attribute to music? If music is so powerful, and not just in the sense of distracting us during the day or alleviating our troubles or pains, where do we find this power?

Today, with the changing of our customs and the growth of individual and social awareness, we need a music that is not identified as one of the categories above. We need a music that brings us back to the sacred purpose that music always brings as a gift to human beings, the possibility to connect with the deep and invisible parts of being, a music that leads to self-knowledge and a broader vision of reality.
This is the goal of PianoMirroring.
