For the beauty of this world is like a mirror leading to the beauty of the other world, yet one must not mistake the mirror for the path itself. Thus, when new light enters through colored glass, the soul rises from material beauty to immaterial splendor.

Abbot Suger, De Administratione, 12th century

my musical path - celtic harp and 6/6 chromatic harp

For a long time, I’ve been seeking a language that connects: 
the inner and the sensory world,
 the rhythms of the body and those of nature,
 the intimate and the universal.

Through the harp - its strings stretched between heaven and earth - 
I found an anchor point.
 The Celtic harp, with its direct simplicity and ancient memory.
 The 6/6 chromatic harp, rarer, with its infinite harmonic richness.

My artistic journey accompanies me in this listening.
 I’ve long worked with stained glass, graphic arts, and string puppetry - all mediums speaking of light, matter, subtle movement, symbolic form, sacred geometry, and silent presence.
 Music and image converse with each other - sometimes from afar, sometimes in a single gesture.

Among the most formative experiences of my path was my time with HipHarp Academy, founded by Deborah Henson-Conant - a unique place of exploration where everyone is encouraged to develop creativity and personal expression without limits or boundaries. This experience deeply nourished me and strengthened my freedom to play and to invent.

O most noble Viriditas,


you who draw your roots from the sun


and in your white serenity illuminate the wheel


that no earthly excellence can comprehend...

Hildegard von Bingen, Scivias, 12th century

Viriditas, the fresh green life of nature,
 is one of Hildegard von Bingen’s favorite terms - 
the 12th-century Benedictine abbess, visionary, healer, composer, and herbal scholar.

viriditas

Borrowed from various Latin writings of her time,
 she developed it to express the divine life-force 
that permeates all living things - 
a “green force,” a “breath of life”
, an expression of divine generosity. Visible in nature, it also lives within the human being, symbolizing both physical and spiritual health.

In contrast to Ariditas - a life without spiritual quest - Viriditas is a creative, universal energy, to be cultivated in body and soul, as one tends a garden, in a process of renewal and healing.

the sounds of healing - harp therapy (ihtp) & healing sounds

Music, for me, is a spiritual path. Certified in harp therapy (International Harp Therapy Program - IHTP, founded by Christina Tourin, French/Italian branch - Resonantya , directed by Marianne Gubri) and in Healing Sounds (Jonathan Goldman, Alec Sims), I develop a practice centered on vibrational presence: an improvised music that adjusts to the listener, to their inner state - a music that supports, envelops, and accompanies.

Here, music unfolds beyond performance and interpretation. My wish is to offer a unique sound experience to each person, in the moment - an echo of what seeks to be heard, received, transformed. Music becomes shared vibration, a space of resonance, a reconnection to the Self.

my encounter with the original sonovibration

My meeting with the SonoVibration Originelle (SVO), created and taught by Stéphane Colle (Pure Sound Experience ), deeply nourished this approach to sound as a gateway to the space of Consciousness that moves through and beyond us.

my discovery of the music of plants

Alongside this, I’ve explored the music of plants, whose electrical impulses are made audible through the Bamboo M, developed by Music of the Plants.

This bioelectrical device allows me to improvise directly with plants on the harp. I regularly play with five different plants, each with its own voice. I truly feel they perceive my intentions: sometimes, as I begin to answer their song, they pause - as if to listen.

The first time I connected my fern - the world’s oldest plant, carrying millions of years of memory - it played me a seamless sequence of major sevenths, an interval I love most deeply...

This practice nourishes my SonoVibration recordings, where the living presence of plants is naturally woven in. It has opened me to a new way of listening to the Living, where the silent intelligence of nature becomes a partner again, reminding us that silence is already full - that the universe, in all its forms, emits, perceives, and responds.

What I offer is a moment of encounter: with oneself, with the other, with what is alive and vibrating - the “I Am” space opened by music, nourished by intention.
