2022 – Oltre le note
In July 2022 “Oltre le note” (editions Celid – ISBN 9788867892389), fifth Tony Carnevale’s publication.
What is music? Are musicians born or made? What is creativity? What is imagination? What is expressive-representative thought? Where does musical invention come from? What is composition? And improvisation? Can anyone make music, play, or sing? Is it a privilege or a right? Can art and profession coexist? Can you rediscover lost sound, your passion for music, abandoned due to negative experiences? Can music be experienced differently? Can one learn faster?
These and other questions are the starting point for a research in which philosophical reflections on how to think about music go hand in hand with practical tips and “craftsmanship”: on composition, arrangement, interpretation, training, and more, with artistic, methodological, and historical insights, particularly focusing on the psychological and psychoacoustic aspects of the themes discussed. Psychodynamic Music Mentorship is the culmination of this long research and practice that gave rise to the ANORA method, an acronym for Non-Rational Approach, a method aimed at researching and developing one’s original artistic identity, both as a creator and performer.
Based not only on a long artistic and professional experience but also on in-depth research in psychology, psychoacoustics, and the arts, particularly in creative processes, the human reaction to sound, and expressive-representative thought, it offers an excellent opportunity for anyone who wants to develop their abilities—perhaps still unknown—in much shorter times than traditional education. Thanks to a formative process that occurs through relationships, consistent with a view of education/development based on human creative relationships.
the ANORA method assumes that music is for everyone and that anyone can make music, according to their possibilities, with the socio-political implications this thought entails:
it’s not a race to be first, but rather about “reaching” others through sound.
