🇹🇷❤️‍🔥🇧🇷
Still vibin’ high after my - second this year - appearance at the sound and music temple Gota Satsom, in Alto Paraiso, Brazil, this time strictly for Turkish Sufi music!

For years I have been talking with musician Lucas Villarim who is resident at Gota and wanted to meet and jam with him and the opportunity appeared.

We met two hours before the performance, talked, shared our musical ideas, philosophies, composed on the fly, shared instruments and sounds and I could fel that we would have a great result.

And we did!

🤲🏻💧🎶
In softness, with delicacy, in prayer, in listening and feeling one another, in unison...

The songs we performed are both traditional Turkish Sufi/Folk songs and own compositions.

An evening of Turkish Sufi Music, Live @ Gota Satsom (feat. Lucas Villarim) | 19 SEP 2024

📜ABOUT
🔥🌳
It was July 2021, a little bit before the wildfires in Turkey that burned 1,700m2.

Little I knew about what will happen and God saved me from experiencing this incident yet... on a beautiful morning in the South of Turkey, I met with Fırat.

Our connection was instant and our common passion for music was felt.

We came together on that evening, me with a borrowed steel tongue drum which I have never played before and him with my old acoustic guitar.

We jammed and something came up...

From what came up, we sat down, discussed the result, composed the melody and flow together and after 2 rehearsals, we entered the forest and we recorded this track!

The feeling of satisfaction and mutual appreciation was a great indication that this music had to reach the world.

Years have passed and I have been postponing the release due to the minor buzzing of the guitar. I thought it did not sound good enough!

After sharing the music with some musician friends I got convinced to release it as it is. After all... music is not about perfection but about expression!

We decided to give the name "Hızır - The Spirit of the Green Man"as an honor to the forest and all the forests that were burned that year.

🧙🏻‍♂️✨🎶
Hızır or Khidr is a sort of a mythical figure both in the Quran as well as in Celtic mythology and attributed with many miracles and supernatural abilities.

I wish you enjoy and that it brings peace and contentment to your ears and soul!

🤲🏻📿❤️‍🔥 For the love of the One Beloved!

📜 ABOUT
It's been 3 years since my last recorded set!
Time flies, yet... what is time in the quantum understanding of today's world?

During this time, my thirst to discover new music has not quenched, quite the opposite.
I have been testing new things and expressions and collecting gems, one after another, patiently, looking forward to the day, that I would feel ready to share a new sound.

The Sound of the New World!

As an Aquarius myself, I love to push boundaries and shapeshift and this set is all about this.

It is a declaration that draws a new line to the sound of @themusicmedicine and goes beyond expectations, covering genres and expressions not revealed before.

It is not medicine music, world, ethnic or folkloric.
It is space music, psychedelic, meditative, trippy and dance.
It is... Music Medicine!

The storytelling of a story never told before...

This set came out in one day.
Spontaneously, with excitement and joy while the story was revealing itself and while I was blending the sounds without really knowing where I was going.

May it take you on the journey it was intended to.

With love,
The Music Medicine.

Age of Aquarius - The Sound of the New World

📜 ABOUT

A Full Moon can be both a blessing and a challenge!
Exactly as the creation of this set was for me…

After a long time being away from the process of curating and recording a musical storytelling, plus the challenge to include an original recorded song (which I did not have and I had to create), makes this set extra special to my heart.

Listening and feeling deeply about the intention and wish of my friend Buket Polat to create an inward journey to support a ceremonial act to follow her newest creation of a Full Moon Ritual Kit, as well as my own intuition and taste of what I would like to hear while performing such a ritual, I came up with music that resembles the different elemental stages of the ritual and it is intentionally crafted to connect the listener with his/her deeper and unseen side.

Placing the heart space, at last, I have exclusively recorded a love song, which communicates a real and personal experience of a love story that did take place… once on a moon!

My wishes and intention are with every listener, for this musical journey to serve you well so that you might also feel and listen to the deeper sides of yourself and bring them to light.

You can find and obtain the ritual kit here:

May you have a wonderful experience and a beautiful journey!

Full Moon Ritual Set for Noor Tribe [44':44'']

🇹🇷🕌🗣️🎶
Living in Turkey for 7 years, I came across many moments where I was enjoying my favorite music and the daily prayer would just pop up and match the musical key of the track I was listening.

Those moments I always felt that prayers would sound better and attract more people if they were accompanied by music!

And so, one day I received this qasida (a laudatory, elegiac, or satiric poem in Arabic, Persian and other various related literatures, sometimes performed in a musical form) performed by hafiz and master singer Kani Karaca.

🎷🎺
While I stayed in awe with the mastery of his voice in a surprising way, the song that played right after was the classic "A Taste of Honey" from Legendary Paul Desmond and in my ears... they totally matched!

So I put the two together, with a few twitches and tweaks, cuts and pastes and a treatment of the sound and this mashup came up.

I still believe that prayers would be more fun and attract more people to this wonderful practice if accompanied by music.

May you all enjoy.
🤲🏻📿❤️‍🔥 For the love of one Beloved!

Paul Desmond Vs. Kani Karaca - JAZZEZAN (The Music Medicine Mashup)

ABOUT 🗣️🎶📜
Many stories have been told about the beginning of all,
and all those stories, brought us to where we are today...

I cannot clearly tell what would be the next stories that our generations would tell. 

Trying to put my ideas and imagination into a verbal context would be a mistake, as what I see forward is that words would transmute into songs and sounds of instruments!

If I had to put it on a context, I would put it into a musical one, and this is exactly what this set is about.

A musical storytelling and a celebration of the future of humanity, inspired by the human diversity, as expressed through song, prayer and music...

"In the beginning was the Word (Sound), and the Word (Sound) was with God, and the Word (Sound) was God".
~ John 1:1

May it inspire and uplift you and expand your horizons!

With love,
DMTrios - The Music Medicine 🎶🐍

https://linktr.ee/themusicmedicine

IN THE BEGINNING - XXXTATIC MUSIC SET [Compiled and mixed by the Music Medicine]

For the closing part we finish with another "taksim" and I took advantage to play a bit with the voices of the people :)

We wish you enjoyed the journey as much as we did.

More is coming...

Outro

"Mevlana" means "master" and it is the name given to Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī (or simply Rumi).

This is a composition of Lucas Villarim recorded for the first time!

Mevlana

One more "classic" for Turkish Sufi circles and one that has many different versions sang in circles.

This song is a poetry to the sacrifices a Sufi must endure to walk the spiritual path.

* * * * * * * * * *

📜🇹🇷 ~ LYRICS:
Kurbanlar tığlanıp gülbenk çekildi
Gaflet uykusundan uyanageldim

Dört kapı kilidi anda açıldı
Yüzüm üryan edip peymana geldim

Evel eşiğine koydum başımı
İçeri aldılar döktüm yaşımı

Erenler yolunda kırk savaşımı
Can baş feda edip kurbana geldim

Ol demde uyandı batın çırağı
Rehberim boynuma bend etti bağı

Üçer adım ile attım ayağı
Koç kurban dediler imana geldim

Dört kapı selamın verip aldılar
Pirin huzuruna çekip yeddiler

El ele el hakka olsun dediler
Henüz masum olup cihana geldim

Kurbanlar Tığlanıp

This is a composition of Lucas Villarim that I have heard before on the internet but we performed for the first time together!

"La Illaha Illallah, Allahu Akbar" means "There is no God than God, God is Great" in Arabic and it is a phrase commonly used in Sufi & Islamic prayers, songs and everyday expression.

* * * * * * * * * *

📜🇹🇷 ~ LYRICS:
La Illaha Illallah
Allahu Akbar
La Illaha Illallah
Allahu Akbar

La Illaha Illallah

This song is also a "classic" when it comes to Turkish Sufi circles and - as well - one of my favorites.

It is not an easy song because of its singing melody which is quite elaborated but hey... I gave it a try :)

The song is a sort of the parody a mystic is experiencing God while seeing the world.

* * * * * * * * * *

📜🇹🇷 ~ LYRICS:
Ben melamet hırkasını   
Kendim giydim eğnime   
Ar-ü namus şişesini   
Taşa çaldım kime ne   
Ahhhhh
Haydar Haydar taşa çaldım kime ne  

Sofular haram demişler   
Aşkımın şarabına   
Ben doldurur ben içerim   
Günah benim kime ne
Ahhhhh
Haydar Haydar günah benim kime ne  

Gah çıkarım gökyüzüne   
Seyrederim alemi   
Gah inerim yeryüzüne   
Seyreder alem beni   
Ahhhhh
Haydar Haydar seyreder alem beni  

Gah giderim medreseye   
Ders okurum Hak için   
Gah giderim meygedeye   
Dem çekerim aşk için   
Ahhhhh
Haydar Haydar dem çekerim aşk için  

Nesimi'yi sorsalar kim   
Yarin ile hoş musun   
Hoş olam ya olmayayım   
O yar benim kime ne   
Ahhhhh
Haydar Haydar o yar benim kime ne

Haydar Haydar (Ben Melamet Hırkasını)

This song came from the repertoire of Lucas and it's Persian/Iranian.
The song was originally sung by Ghazal Shakeri, a famous actress, director, costume designer and singer from Tehran Iran.

* * * * * * * * * *

📜🇮🇷 ~ LYRICS:
Shab aafaridi, Sham' aafaridam
Khaak aafaridi, jaam aafaridam
Biaabaan o koohsaar o raagh aafaridi
Khiyaabaan o golzaar o baagh aafaridam
Aan-am ke az sang aayine saazam
Aan-am ke az zahr nooshine saazam

Shab Āfaridi - Song of the Red Dervish (Iranian/Farsi)

This is - by far - my most favorite Sufi song of all times and one that has transformed so many times until its find its final version.

Many memories, many circles and many fires... "Seni Ben Severim" is almost a classic in the Turkish Sufi circles, inspired by the words of the Turkish Sufi mystic and poet, Yunus Emre.

* * * * * * * * * *

📜🇹🇷 ~ LYRICS:
Seni ben severim candan içeru 
Yolum vardir bu erkândan içeru

Seriat, tarikat yoldur varana
Hakikat, marifet andan içeru

Beni benden sorman, bende degilem
Bir ben vardir bende, benden içeru

Süleyman kus dilin bilur dediler
Süleyman var Süleyman'dan içeru

Yunus'un sözleri hundur âtestir
Kapinda kul var sultandan içeru

Seni Ben Severim (Hüseynî ilahi)

In this part, we are starting with a soft opening called "taksim", to open up space and prepare for what is coming.

Intro

💭🌜✨🎶 
“Óniro” means “dream” in Greek.
This song was channeled during a music therapy session at Bonjuk Bay (Marmaris, Turkey) in 2022.

During this time, I was struggling with a relationship that looked like it was out of a dream yet… didn’t go forward!

While I was improvising during my session, I was thinking and feeling the pain of the “loss” and the words came to me in Greek.

Years went by and several recordings took place but yet, I wasn’t happy with the final result and doubted the state I was and the energy I was emanating while sharing the song.

Until my friend Markus Lehto from Red Fox Studios (Istanbul, Turkey), decided to capture the song and give it a twist.

More back and forth happened for nearly one a half year, until we reached the sweet spot and decided to release the dream!

So… here it is! Unlike the original idea which contained only vocals and guitar, Markus and I added layers of other instruments and he decided to give it a downtempo electronic twist alongside a bunch of effects on the vocals, to create a “dreamy” atmosphere.

Finally the dream is released and we invite you to dream with us and to remember to have hope and believe in the infinite possibilities and ways that dreams can manifest. Every tomorrow is another opportunity to dream again!

I wish it nourishes your ears and your soul.

❤️‍🔥 For all the lovers out there, keep loving...
The Music Medicine 🎶🐉

🇬🇷 GREEK
“Όνειρο ήταν όνειρο, και αύριο θα’ρθει κιάλλο.
Όνειρο ήταν όνειρο και με το παραπάνω.

Μου έδωσες λίγο ουρανό και πέταξα μαζί σου.
Γεύτηκα λίγο απ’τη ζωή κι αγάπησα μαζί σου”.

🇳🇿 ENGLISH
“A dream, it was a dream, and tomorrow another will come.
A dream, it was a dream and much more than that.

You gave me a little sky and I flew with you.
I tasted a little of life and I loved with you”.

LOVE RITUAL 002 / LIVE RECORDING (Dimitrios, Rila Köksal, Briken Aliu, Niko Dogu)

We are always researching a greater contact with ancient practices and rites and Alchemy is one of them. There are not many Alchemists left nowadays so finding one is considered as a great luck! Greek origin - Berlin based @hara_katsiki is one of them!

We have noticed Hara from her previous musical combinations and we responded her call. Since we are accustomed in Extra Terrestrial communication, it wasn't hard to communicate with her.
Few telepathic messages and everything flowed with ease and beauty...

Hara is carrying - besides her extraordinary abilities - an Universal understanding about music and she is weaving a thread between the sounds, creating a musical Dream Catcher that holds all musical elements in harmony!

Hara (which means Joy in Greek) calls herself an “Intuitive Artist & Healer / Explorer of the Creative realms” and she has a message to deliver:

“Creating and viewing art can touch inner aspects of our being and promote deep healing and expansiveness.
I work on an intuitive level and let the piece speak to me during the process, whether I have intent or not.
My work reflects the intuitive nature that resides within us all and infuses a deep connection to heart, mind, and spirit.

My work wether it is Drawing, music or Hypnotherapy is Love that is put into action.
Through my work, i attempt to transcend the physical world and portray a wider vision of awareness.
It is about the expression of the soul through different forms of art.
My mission in this world is to be of service to humanity, inspire, anchor love into the Earth, liberate the souls who have lost their way on this planet to find their role and meaning in life, give encouragement and hope”.

Let yourself be in peace and harmony inside her sounds and open your heart to feel her feminine touch, intense but full of delicacy...

JOURNEY 002 - Hara Katsiki

STORY / ABOUT

Every medicine is an invitation to a unique experience and this one is an invitation to the Heart of the Forest, the great Amazon itself!

We walked into the forest and we stood with awe in front of the natures majesty.
While experiencing the richness of its sounds we heard the chanting of women from far away and we approached to find more.
In front of the burning fire, we felt surprised to meet two women with Indian headdress in a state of trance, singing sweet and powerful chants.

Moto / Tonguere is a prayer, a blessing chant performed and recorded live by Asi Rua & Hukena Yawanawa to serve as an invitation for their first tour in Europe.

Asi Rua & Hukena are both female healers and medicine women from Brazil that have been studying and working with sacred plants inside the tradition of the Yawanawa Indigenous People.
In this live capturing the two female forces merge on a sacred melodic marriage and shapeshift several times under the force of their musical meeting.
This recording is an invitation to the seeker of the personal truth, to the explorer of the unknown, to the courageous defender of love and carries a message of empowerment and feminine manifestation.

***

ABOUT ASI RUA / BARBARA BRANCO (BR)

Asi Rua is a Brazilian healer. In 2006 she had been diagnosed with a chronic disease and after many years of conventional treatment with no results, she found her cure through the native medicines of the Huni Kuin tribe.

After that incident, she dedicated herself to study the relationship between health and spiritual awareness, studying in depth energetic and body therapies, ancient healing techniques and spiritual traditions, with Brazilian and North American Indians and different elders and spiritual leaders from around the world.

She has visited the Amazon forest several times to deepen her studies in native Brazilian traditions of the Kaxinawa and Yawanawa people and going through sacred diets. For the last four years, she has been organizing and hosting spiritual ceremonies in São Paulo with pajés from the Kaxinawa, Yawanawa and Shipibo people.

Since 2014 she guides people from different parts of the world into the Amazon forest, to heal themselves with the traditional medicines of the Huni Kuin and Yawanawa people in their tribes, and to study the spiritual knowledge of the indigenous culture.

***

ABOUT HUKENA YAWANAWA (BR)

Hukena is one of the youngest persons to be Initiated in the shamanic Knowledge of her ancestors and followed her tribe's tradition inspired by her mother steps.

Daughter of Hushahu - first medicine woman and female spiritual leader of YAWANAWA people – Hukena has already been trained in many deep sacred diets and over the last years she has been traveling around Brazil, leading women healing circles and spiritual ceremonies, an inspiration for women in her tribe.

Live Recording from the Art Exhibition of Mr. Tilki (a.k.a. Cedric Menard) in Istanbul / Turkey.

Questions like these are some times rhetoric. In this case it wasn't about the question but about the call itself. A call of unity for the sake of art and music.

Five musicians from different cultures gathered to honour the first attempt of exposure of a new born artist and the spirits came to dance and sing along.
People attended to find their personal truth through the experience and this is the Audio capturing of what happened!

ARTWORK
Mr. Tilki - "The song of the Hummingbird".

As the hummingbird is going from a flower to another to feed, the journey of life is a never-ending invitation from the soul to seek for the sacred pollen of life.

"Dance, dance, dance, around the flower of life.
Fly, fly, fly, from a flower to another.
There you will find the sacred nectar 
To feed your heart and body and soul.
Dance, dance, dance, to find the nectar that will make you grow
The nectar that will take you deeper yourself, to your higher self, to your true self".

This is the song of the spirits fo the Forest,
This is the song of the spirit of the River,
This is the song of the spirit of the Mountains
Of the Sun and the moon
Of the Birds and the Snake.

"Fly, fly, and fly again and again" they are humming.
The nectar you are craving for is right there.
No further than a beat of your wings, no further than a beat of music.

SPIRITS ARE YOU THERE? _ LIVE RECORDING (Dimitrios, Berna Efeoglu, Batuha, Evgeniy, Elena, Serhan)

We never know how the Universe works but what lies beyond its manifestation is never a coincidence.
In one of our journeys we met with @burcugenc from Turkey, another Sound Alchemist with special abilities that found the secret recipe that links Meditation & Celebration and this knowledge she has brought into our circle.

In this very special Full Moon, we designed a different ceremony for our guests. A ceremony which will guide people from their Inner Journey to their own reach of ecstasy through bodily expression and we found ourselves in the most Zen location of South Turkey, Shanti Garden experiencing with our new experiment.


This is how things happened and this is the Live Recording of the combined Music Medicine of two Alchemists.

*(In this special set we are revealing a part of the secret recipe of our workshops which is the activation of the Chakras with the use of Sound Effects.)

Full Moon Ceremony @ Shanti Garden, Turkey

Every Journey has a story and all stories are walking a thin line between reality and mythology…

We found Burcu in the South of Turkey, between the Mountains and the Sea, in a place of ancient wisdom.
She was casting her music as a magic spell in front of the fire and guiding people into a transcendental journey between meditation and celebration.

We have found another of the “tribe” and we shook hands to walk together in the path of the service for The Music Medicine.

Burcu has an authentic and unique ability to compose Multilingual musical stories and to awaken the spirit of the Heart in every individual.
In this Journey she talks about Unity and Peace among Tribes, among Humans and Nature and about what it means to Be and Feel one:

“May this deep meditational story reach your inner self and open your heart to the other. Just with the intention of creating harmony, playing, dancing, praying, celebrating together. With Love and Joy.

May this deep meditational story give you a deep understanding of being ONE and WHOLE. By experiencing the infinite light and healing of Unity. And give you the courage to break your shells, to trust the flow of life and the people around you.

You are me, I am you. We are each other’s mirror. We reflect each others light and dark. And when we look clearly into our souls without fear and ego,
then we can be ONE and WHOLE again like we were…”

JOURNEY 003 - Burcu Genc

“A musical voyage inspired by the Sounds of the Earth…”
That was exactly what we thought when we decided to make this project with Let’s Boho.
An auditory journey for Adventurous Listeners. For listeners who like to try different, who connect with our Earth and love to dare and to travel, for listeners who know how to live “Let’s Boho” style!

We called our Sound Alchemist Dimitrios to weave the pieces of the journey and as a traveler himself, he delivered a nearly Mythological Adventure!
In this journey, Nature is taking over with her sounds and gives inspiration to our Earth’s Tribes that translate in return the musical languages of her elements. 
The birds of the forest blend with the healing chants of Peruvian Healers of the Amazon Forest.
The seashore with the arias of the long forgotten Mermaids.
The Shamanic drums and the sounds of the rain with Native Flutes as performed inside a cave.

Dimitrios says:
“Life itself is the most exciting journey I know and it can be as magical as we allow it to be!
To go on through life for the sake of the journey opens you to a transformative experience and helps you to face and accept the diversity of our Earth and World and consequently the diversity of our own selves!

I wish for you a pleasant and surprising journey that will leave you “richer” in experience by the end of it.

With love,
Dimitrios”

"Sounds of the Earth" - special set for LET'S BOHO

To celebrate our collaboration with Uplifers and our new space inside their team of experts as content creators about Music, Musical Practices, Music History & Mythology and Conscious use of Music, @dimitriosmusic has recorded this special set.

A musical journey intended to take you into different places around the world and to awaken the life force inside you with the use of Natural sounds that correspond to the 7 basic energy centers in our body (Chakras, according to the Hindu Philosophy & Tradition) but also the main Natural elements that we all carry (Earth - Water - Fire - Air - Ether - Time & Space).

In fact, this is a journey inside yourself!

May it bring you Joy & Harmony!

Harmony & Enjoyment through Music - Special set for Uplifers

Water.
One of the most basic elements of life and according to human history records, its sound has been acknowledged as the first healing sounds.

Water washes away what is not serving us, it helps us connect with all the water particles we are consisted from and it definitely has an ability to calm us down and bring a sense of relaxation, serenity and safety.

This is a small ode to water, a soundtrack made with the intention to bring these states whenever you are listening.

Enjoy the flow...

The Music Medicine Happening @ Cezayir / Zaytuna [Istanbul] 21.03.2019

A moment of magic and flow. Of allowance and of holding and sharing space within the power of improvisation. We got invited to facilitate a Music Therapy session at the Good Vibes Only event at the magical Bonjuk Bay and we allowed the music to reveal itself through us and for the people.

There was a plan and a musical path to be followed but - as usual - we broke it and we allowed what was truly needed to be expressed.

This is a part of what happened there, in acceptance and surrender...

Live Music Therapy Session with Evrencan Gündüz - 30.06.19 (Good Vibes Only | Bonjuk Bay)

Bonjuk Bay has been a playfield of experimentation, meetings and collaborations with many known and unknown musicians from around the world and it has certainly contributed to our growth and expansion of our musicality.

Earlier this Summer we met with Jay Kein from Turkey and Waiyari from Argentina and invited them to musically co-facilitate on one of our music meditation sessions.

Our beloved musician member Taylo was also there and this is the recording of a wonderful and relaxing session, in allowance, acceptance and flow...

Live Music Meditation Session w. Taylo, Waiyari & Jay Kein - 08.10.2019 (Bonjuk Bay | Turkey)

This Summertime was full of musical surprises and meetings!
We met so many inspiring and talented artists and we engaged in musical conversations and learned so much from the process of sharing music and connecting at-the-moment.

One of our encounters was with @ikarumusic, a very interesting duo from the capital of Turkey, Ankara.
Ikaru blends electronic beats and natural drum samples, psychedelic and meditative synths and pads, traditional and regional sounds with electric guitar and vocals, and create a journey for the listener like true storytellers!

We tried many things together. We jammed with instruments near the sea, we made music therapy sessions and this out-of-the-blue Sunset jam session, at the closing of the season at @bonjukbay.

It was intense, as we were trying to blend our musical languages which were obviously different, yet possible to be compatible!
This is the recording of the 30-minute experience that we had and that we have offered to our audience.

ABOUT:

In the beginning, was the Word.
We heard it, we read it, but have we understood and embodied it?

When it comes to the word "prayer" most of us think in terms of religion and God.
What if we told you that prayer, is nothing more than words infused with strong intention and emotion?

It wasn’t until a couple of years ago that I started to work in ways I haven’t known before, alongside a person that today I can call mentor and brother, Arkin Çelik, and that has introduced me to a school of thought and a school of expression that changed my life!

Arkin introduced me to a text that said to work as a command/contract with life and aimed for the higher benefit and joy of humanity.

He invited me to revisit it and to add music.

A year ago the “Prayer of the Highest Good & Potential” has been released to the world from the social media accounts of @themusicmedicine and got incredible feedback from all around the world.

A text composed in years and that is a distilled extract of all the knowledge and wisdom of ourselves and our teachers.

During many months we kept meeting and discussing "expression design" - his craft - among other interesting stuff, and how important it is to use the word correctly and to be precise on our speech and affirmations.

Since the main interest of The Music Medicine is the effect of sound in all forms and the word is a sound, I got hooked when Arkin revealed his intention to co-create and release this powerful prayer that intentionally targets using the word for the good, best benefit and potential of anyone who uses it and anyone who is involved!

It has been a long and meticulous process to choose together the right words and finally to combine them with the right music!

A year after we have re-visited the same text, I added 100% self-composed music and I am more than happy to release the updated version to the world, today, on the energetic portal of 12/12/20, which favors the manifestation of new beginnings, dreams & projects!


May it bring you strength, alignment and hope and may it work its positive magic for the highest good and potential into your life!

📜 ABOUT
It all started with the intention to sing a song to enhance Love, Peace & Harmony for the world.

The message was clear:
"I love my heart & soul, I love all humanity,
Join hearts & souls together, Love, peace & harmony".

Under this intention, an ensemble of 11 musicians that never met or played together before heard the call and came together!
It was exciting, scary at times, yet fulfilling and satisfying, while the music was unfolding, taking us to where she wanted to go.

With trust as our guide, we jumped into the unknown and made a kind of sound that can only be called "fusion" as it blends meditational music, groove, rock, chanting & storytelling.

This is how our story went...

Love, Peace & Harmony (Live Improvisation)

ESSENCY is an independent initiative for personal growth and societal change.

Through their content and practical tools, they inspire people to reconnect to their inner strength, their essence and fuel the mindset that makes social transformation possible.

When I was invited to create a musical theme for their podcast series I knew I had to create something that blends the past with the future.
The organic with the non-organic.

Through my creative process, I invited my dear friend and handpan player Alexandre Lora from Brazil to send me a couple of recordings.

This is the music that came out!

📜🧙🏻‍♂️ ABOUT
Not "Academy' but "a.k.a. Dimitrios"!

Hi!
My name is Dimitri Dermencioglu and I am an artist who "lives in music".

Throughout 32 years in the world of music, I have changed many hats and have been known under different names.

All those names turned into temporary personas/projects that gifted me with extensive experience in the areas of music, celebration and ritual, also took me around the world.

Today, my experiences, has become a school of thought, study and practice
that I call "Frequency Lifestyle".

"The Music Medicine" is the last project/persona I have been known for.

A living experience in the exploration, study and sharing of diverse musical approaches and schools of thought/practice, blending and influenced by tradition and modernity, spirituality & and science, celebration & and meditation.

A living school of the science and mysticism of medicinal music, as practised around the world for aeons!

Whether through the mediums of ethnomusicology, music therapy, instrumentalism, composition, DJ ing, or event organisation, the mission of "The Music Medicine" is to use music and celebration as a learning process.

A way to bring people and cultures together, to awaken creativity and potential, to learn and to share the effects of music and sound that comes from the heart and eventually, to foster harmony & joy wherever it passes from!

Thank you for passing by and don't forget to leave a comment or send a "Hi"!
