Toccando L'anima

You are a winner in my eyes

We are excited to share the latest release from Daniela Spadini, an Italian pianist and composer whose music is as heartfelt as her journey. 

Daniela's passion for the piano began at just two years old, and her unique musical path has led her through classical training, choir performances, and collaborations with talented artists. Her new composition, "Desiderio", is a deeply emotive neoclassical piece that beautifully blends delicate piano lines with cinematic string arrangements by Daniela Mastrandrea.

This heartfelt collaboration unfolds with grace, longing, and profound beauty, inviting you to immerse yourself in a world of emotion and expression.

Today, I’m sharing the second version of my track Butterfly (with the third and final version coming next week alongside the official release). This Slow Piano Version is noticeably slower and more atmospheric than the previously released Piano Solo Version, offering a gentler, more introspective experience.

Remember, if you’d like to play it yourself, you can also grab the sheet music on Bandcamp via this link:

Enjoy the music, and let me know what you think in the comments! 

Yours truly,
Sebastian

Hey, it’s me again. I just uploaded a new piece – something quiet, something gentle.

This piece was written and recorded in my small studio in Berlin,
on my felted Bechstein piano.

It’s a quiet track – not slow, just gentle.
There’s a kind of weightlessness in it
that reminded me of how things felt
before we started calling them memories.

The title came early. Letters of Lightness.
I didn’t imagine them written down.
More like: moments you carry without knowing.
Not written, but felt.

I’d love to hear what it brings up for you.
Thanks for listening.

Yours truly,
Sebastian Morawietz

Letters Of Lightness

A Crowded Room

Forget the myths. The influence of sound on plant life isn't magic—it's physics. As a bio-acoustic researcher, I've dedicated my career to decoding the precise vibrational mechanics that stimulate plant development. In this investigation, we move beyond popular culture to explore the specific, measurable effects of sound waves, focusing on why the structured acoustic patterns of Classical-era string quartets (e.g., Haydn, Mozart) are uniquely effective.

This is not about a plant's "taste" in music. It's about mechanoreception. Plants are exquisitely sensitive to physical stimuli. Their cellular structures contain mechanosensitive ion channels that respond to pressure and vibration. We will explore how:

Harmonic Frequencies Stimulate Cytoplasmic Streaming: The consistent, harmonically rich frequencies produced by violins, violas, and cellos (ranging from approximately 196 Hz to over 4 kHz) create a stable vibrational field. This gentle agitation is hypothesized to enhance cytoplasmic streaming—the movement of fluid within the plant's cells. Improved streaming leads to more efficient transport of nutrients and organelles, optimizing metabolic function.

Rhythmic Pulses Influence Stomatal Conductance: The predictable, moderate rhythmic patterns of a Haydn-esque quartet create periodic pressure waves in the air. Emerging studies suggest that specific frequencies (in the 1-2 kHz range) can influence the opening and closing of stomata, the pores on a leaf's surface. By encouraging stomata to remain open longer in optimal conditions, the plant can increase its CO₂ uptake for more efficient photosynthesis.

Avoiding the Stress Response: Unlike harsh, dissonant noises or low-frequency, high-amplitude sounds that can mimic threats (e.g., large animals, seismic activity) and trigger a defensive stress response (thigmomorphogenesis), the smooth, ordered sonic texture of a string quartet provides stimulation without alarm. This creates an environment of "eustress"—a beneficial level of stimulation that promotes growth rather than inhibiting it.

Join me as we analyze the specific acoustic properties of this music and connect them directly to the biological processes they influence. We will examine the scientific data and separate rigorous research from horticultural hearsay. This is the real science of sound and botany.

Key Scientific Concepts Explored:

- Mechanoreception & Mechanosensitive Ion Channels

- Cytoplasmic (Protoplasmic) Streaming

- Stomatal Conductance & Gas Exchange

- Thigmomorphogenesis (Plant Stress Response)

- Acoustic Frequency and Amplitude Analysis

One Never Comes

I'm a big Celer fan. The stories he writes for his music are thought provoking, meaningful and deep. I was scrolling through his bandcamp catalog and I started reading about one of his albums.
In the end of his story he says "All you want is love, all you have are memories". There, I felt the blow to my feelings and memories, remembered my own memories and the world I left as my transition from a child to an adult. The house and the corridor are an everlasting source of joy and pain for me. I just closed my eyes and had another visit of the house.
