AUM Presenter:
Aurelio
 
Aurelio, born on the eastern slopes of the Alps near the Hungarian border in Austria, set out very early on a quest for the inherent harmony in all.  A long journey of four years brought him in contact with the grandeur of North American landscapes, the vastness and beauty of the Pacific Ocean and its islands, the desert and aborigines of Australia and stone-age people in the jungles of Papua New Guinea.  On this pilgrimage following the tracks of the wonders and gifts of Mother Nature and her ancient wisdom traditions throughout Asia, the spirit of sound awoke in him and inspired further research and explorations. 

After seven years living on a remote mountain farm in the Alps, achieving near self-sufficiency, the call to share those learnings and to participate in a large collective experiment brought him to Auroville.  Having learned traditional handicrafts (basket weaving, woodwork, instrument building), herbal medicine, story telling, song writing, home teaching children and leading workshops on sound and consciousness, his focus has shifted in the last years to Nada Yoga (the inner dimensions and mysticism of sound). 

He is now active in the performing arts (Auroville Dance Company, theatre work in collaboration with Indian artists, song evenings) and experimental music, teaching and organising cultural events.  He also studies classical Indian vocal music and researches into tuning and resonance. Linked to different sound traditions, a constant unfoldment of new discoveries opens promising doors into a new future -- it's Aurelio's gift to share his unique path and insights in a simple, joyful and intimate way.
