After my experience of 30 years of playing concerts in all the world and giving Master Classes in the most important Conservatories and Music Colleges, I finally developed a new technique that I called “Musical Biodynamic”, that harmonizes the gestures of the body, leaving the musician free to express the musical feeling with the right energy in the right way.
This technique consists in a correct participation of the body to the musical event, understanding the relationship and harmonization between the gesture and the music and how to transfer in sounds the feeling hidden within the notes that we are performing.
For have the possibility to express himself through the music, first the guitarist must know his body, like a good driver know his car, he should to know exactly what happen inside him when he make the movements and the gestures necessary for play.
My technique teaches how harmonize the movements of the body, as “dancers”, with a right balance of tensions.
When the guitarist move the fingers for play he makes movements and every movement should to have a reason, should be generated by an emotion, which will assign to the gesture of the body the right energy and that is suggested by the music.
Is very important to take conscience of the several phases of the gesture: from which part of the body starts the movement (from the arm, the hand or the finger), in which direction goes, and with which kind of “emotion” is produced, which kind and quantity of energy is assigned.
The symbols we usually find in a score like “pp, p, mf, f, ff” have no meaning if they are not associated to a true feeling: performers have to play like when they speak, can be loud or soft but always with a reason.
The voice change timbre according to the feeling, also if the volume remain the same, so when the musician plays with the dynamics have not only to press the strings with the volume indicated, but he has to perceive what kind of emotion generates this dynamic, the emotional reason for which he want to play strong or soft.
Any performer if he wants to transmit to the audience some emotions first must to feel himself.
All these gestures come by the real emotion, which that can be suggested by the music.
So the exact sequence is: first take conscience of energies of the body, take contact with the instrument, with the chair, with the ground, then the music let us feel an emotion which send an input to the brain that order to the body to make the right movements with the right energy. This is the purpose of “Musical Biodynamic”, my new technique: to make the gestures using the right energy for play with the feeling that the music let us perceive.
For having the correct control of the gesture we need: • to take conscience of the parts of the body that produce the gesture, assigning them the right quality and quantity of energy , • but not only, because in the same time we have to control the other parts of the body that don't participate to the movement, but "only look" (the arm, the hand or the finger) the other parts who move for play, without make any opposite tension. Like a battery who has the two poles “plus” and “less”, in the body need to perceive the active parts who move and also the passive who have to remain relaxed, so the gesture is harmonic, is realized more easily if any other parts don’t contrast with opposites energies.
