  • Bio

    BIOGRAPHY: Italian musician, sound-therapist, percussionist and producer Antonio Testa specialises in organic sound and the creation of musical atmospheres through the use of a vast array of mostly native and shamanic instruments, together with his own creations made from organic and recycled materials..... Antonio has been active in the field of contemporary music since early 80's working as a percussionist specialising in tribal and Afro-Caribbean rhythms, etno-ambient and world music. An artist who is constantly working to expand his knowledge of ethnomusicology and the curative powers of sound, his music is used widely for healing and various types of therapy sessions, also used for documentaries, films, exhibitions, TV ads and theatre play..... Antonio's versatility as an artist has meant that despite being essentially an organic ambient artist he has, through the course of his career, also performed regularly with artists within the contemporary, etno-ambient and dance music scene to create memorable synergies of organic and electronic. ....

  • Influences

    ECOSPHERE LIVE PROJECT It was created by Antonio Testa with the singer/composer Susana Beatriz Alvear. It is an alchemic underground project featuring ancestral sounds and full of tribal rhythms. The Ecosphere project is presented live with the special vocal and ethnic dance participation of Susana Beatriz Alvear. The sounds, music and dance take us back into the past, offering us a view of a world deeply rooted in our unconscious. The music of Ecosphere spreads all of its energy, the subtle and the elaborate melodies, and its hidden atmosphere to find a balance between the electronic and the acoustic sounds. Alvear's angelic vocals project the imperceptible evolution of the sound of the sky and the ethnic roots of the human soul. The Ecosphere project blends world music, electronic, ambient, reggae and dub music sounds to create atmospheres which evoke in our imaginary visions and images of the most far-off places.
