Resonating with a deep, meditative tanpura-esque cello frequency and reverberating singing bowl tones, Antonio Celotto opens Vishudda (Throat Chakra) with cosmic reverence, before the composition expands with subtle vocal textures and guitar.
We immediately feel aligned and at one with the universe, intentionally tapping into the alignment and expansion of our throat chakra. As we know, an aligned throat chakra is essential to communicate our inner truth with clarity, confidence and compassion. It allows us to foster authentic self-expression and strengthens our connections with our own self and others.
The evolution of the composition is subtle and celestial with ebbs and flows of the cello, as well as the emergence of the acoustic guitar and vocalizations – these flow through us poetically and gracefully.
The bowl tones feel organic and human, and build towards a textured and cinematic orchestral toms expression as the guitar emerges with astral synth detailing. We feel invited to ascend with the higher frequencies that bring us into clarity. Antonio tells us, “Instruments such as cello, acoustic guitar, and crystal singing bowls are carefully layered and tuned to support the Throat Chakra, while a subtle binaural baseline runs throughout, encouraging deep calm and focus.”
Of course, Vishudda (Throat Chakra) is part of a 7-track record titled Pictures Of The Otherside, which features abridged compositions based around each chakra, Muladhara (Root Chakra), Svadhishthana (Sacral Chakra), Manipura (Solar Plexus Chakra), Anahata (Heart Chakra), Vishudda (Throat Chakra), Ajna (Third Eye Chakra), and culminating in Sahasrara (Crown Chakra).
The entire album is beautifully composed, cosmically aligned and intentionally created to allow us to be at one with ourselves and the universe to manifest a higher vibrational frequency for all beings.
It stands out for its cinematic, film-score approach to meditation, which was crafted without loops or presets and shaped by rhythm, tension, low frequencies, theta states, and cymatic patterns. Antonio confesses, “Many listeners say it’s especially powerful in altered or expanded states of awareness, where the space and depth of the music really open up.”
We learn that Antonio Celotto is a composer, film scorer, multi-instrumentalist and filmmaker based in Oxford, England. He is trained in music and visual arts, and has been shaped by over 15 years of live performance.
Needless to say, we are in awe, and have added Vishudda (Throat Chakra) to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, as well as our own personal meditation playlists, and will be no doubt practising various forms of yoga to the entire album. We are grateful for Antonio Celotto‘s conscious artistry and how he chooses to share his skillset.
