A journey into breath through sound. This is an immersive album, where I have used analog and digital synths alongside traditional therapeutic elemental instruments.
"Building on the foundational groundwork of his last GRFRQ release, the epic double album “Activations: Contemplations”, the London-based Italian Sound Practitioner Simone Salvatici has taken the elements, instrumentation, and practice that made "Activations: Contemplations" such a deep, immersive experience and created nine new refined pieces of compassionate, healing sound."

Breath is symbolic of life itself. SCIENCE OF BREATHING is an exploratory journey through breath, the life force energy that permeates our existence.

Lush instrumentation is woven throughout these serene sonic vignettes, with Salvatici once again effortlessly merging traditional instruments regularly employed in his Sound Healing practices, such as Gongs, Himalayan and Crystal Bowls, with contemporary electronics, synthesizers, guitar, reeds, and Japanese Koto, to alchemize a sound that is both enchanting as it is entrancing.


Feature in this album:
Guitars (classical/electric) Sitar, Koto, Shruti, Gongs, Bells, rainsticks, Synthesisers (Mother 32, Korg minilogue, Roland system 1, DSI Prophet Rev 2, Moog mother 32 and Grandmother).
