“Musical Biodynamics” a new way of play

Abstract

            “Musical Biodynamic”, a new approach to the instrument.

            (With “musical Biodynamic” I mean the study of the dynamics of the body in connection with the movement that determines musical expression, a research on how to obtain a genuine and heartfelt interpretation and a great variety of sound)s.

         “Musical Biodynamic”, the new technique of Monti, 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. With “A new way of playing” Monti means that is not enough to play the correct notes with a good sound and a correct dynamic, but the musician need to participate with all the body, not only with the fingers, to create the expression of the music he is playing. The problem of the great part of the guitarist is that they only pay attention to not mistake the notes first, to make a good sound and to play fast for show their technique, but they don’t care about the most important thing, that is to communicate the energy of the music, to arrive to the heart of the audience, and for this need the correct knowledge of the movements of the body, not only of the fingers, because we play with all the body and is very important to know exactly how make a correct movement, because the correct sound start from the perfect knowledge of the movements.

             Furthermore, I created a performance method aimed not only at guitarists but at musicians in general, which can be named “Musical Biodynamics”: this interpretative technique, based on the psycho-physical relationship between Tempo, Pulse, Breathing and Gesture, increases awareness of the body and its natural emotional energies and attunes contact with the instrument in a more intimate and complete participation in the musical performance; it also facilitates spontaneous integration with the different situations occurring in theatres and concert halls, promoting a sensitive and harmonious relationship with the audience.

            Monti is sure all this will be very useful for all the students, for those who are interested about new musical languages or would like to play and to understand his compositions, as well as those who want to reach, with this new technique, a deep way of expression. This want to be also an encouragement for the composers to continuethe exploration of the instrument and look for new way of communicate. This new technique of Monti can solve many problems the student normally can encounter, now take a
