I took a picture with Andy Strange three years ago during a workshop. I liked his simplicity in explaining some of the principles of sound engineering and his experience. Andy Strage is a respected British recording engineer who built his career within the UK pop scene from the 1990s onward. Widely trusted for his technical skill and musical sensitivity, he worked closely with Robbie Williams and songwriter-producer Guy Chambers, specialising in vocal recording and studio tracking that helped shape the polished sound of successful British pop productions.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born on 27 January 1756 in Salzburg and died on 5 December 1791 in Vienna, at the age of 35. He was a child prodigy, widely recognised across Europe. As an adult, he earned a substantial income, though his finances were unstable. Today, many of his works are considered relaxing music because of their balance, clarity, and gentle harmonies.

Hi, I’m Salvatore Petrone, a composer and sound engineer.
I create original music designed to support people living with dementia.

These compositions were carefully developed and tested with people with dementia, showing benefits such as increased calmness, reduced agitation, and improved emotional well-being.

The full project, including results and materials, is available on my website salvatorepetrone.com.
The music is free to download by clicking “Relaxing Music for Dementia”—the direct link is in the comments.

This music is not a cure but a non-pharmacological support aimed at enhancing wellbeing and quality of life.
I’d truly love to hear your feedback.

NEW ORIGINAL MUSIC COLLECTION ✨
Lullaby is one of 10 original music pieces I created using insights from personality research—transforming psychological traits into sound, atmosphere, and emotion.

Each composition represents a different dimension of personality.
By listening to all 10 tracks, you may naturally discover which song feels closest to your personality, simply by noticing which one you connect with the most.

Agreeableness describes how kind, caring, and cooperative a person is. People high in agreeableness are friendly, trusting, and helpful, while those low in it tend to be more direct, independent, and competitive.

Music becomes a mirror.
A way to understand yourself—through sound.

During my final studies for the Master’s Degree in Film and TV Composition at the University of West London, I had the chance to conduct an ensemble made up of four violins, one viola, a cello, and a double bass, performing one of my original compositions.

From that live recording, I felt inspired to create an electronic version — a modern reinterpretation where classical strings meet contemporary sound textures.

I’ve always been fascinated by the Star Trek series since I was a child.
It allowed me to drift away from reality and imagine a future where technology, curiosity, adventure, exploration, and mystery reigned supreme.

I’m talking about the early Star Trek series, which I find the most captivating despite its age. The original music, composed by Alexander Courage, became iconic and helped shape that unique atmosphere of wonder and discovery.

In this work, I tried to create a parallel world to the images, where sounds — like a vortex or a fluid — move through space and time, enhancing the visuals and their story.

I composed an original score and created sound effects inspired by Joker, exploring his unstable and contradictory mind, where the victim becomes the executioner and fragility turns into power.
The music moves between intense, dynamic moments and pure atmosphere and intimacy, as if madness and lucidity were dancing together on the edge of a razor.

This is one of my most personal works — a journey into the human soul: dark, fragile, and intensely alive.

Findings from My Latest Research: Creating Relaxing Music Based on Scientific Evidence

My most recent research focused on how relaxing music can be composed using insights drawn from scientific literature. The study provides valuable guidance for creating music aimed not only at general well-being but also for clinical applications—particularly as a non-pharmacological intervention for individuals living with dementia.

Specifically, the research highlights three key factors that influence how individuals perceive and respond to relaxing music:

Personality – Individual differences in personality traits significantly shape how music is experienced and how effective it is in promoting relaxation.

Momentary State – A listener's current emotional and psychological state can modulate their response to music, making context a crucial consideration.

Innate Biological Response – Certain acoustic features appear to elicit universal physiological reactions, such as decreased heart rate or reduced cortisol levels.

This multidimensional approach offers a robust theoretical framework for designing personalised relaxing music. Its applications extend beyond therapeutic settings and can also inform creative fields such as film scoring, where music is used to evoke targeted emotional responses in the audience with precision and intent.

Specifically, the research highlights three key factors that influence how individuals perceive and respond to relaxing music:

Personality – Individual differences in personality traits significantly shape how music is experienced and how effective it is in promoting relaxation.

Momentary State – A listener's current emotional and psychological state can modulate their response to music, making context a crucial consideration.

Innate Biological Response – Certain acoustic features appear to elicit universal physiological reactions, such as decreased heart rate or reduced cortisol levels.

This multidimensional approach offers a robust theoretical framework for designing personalised relaxing music. Its applications extend beyond therapeutic settings and can also inform creative fields such as film scoring, where music is used to evoke targeted emotional responses in the audience with precision and intent.

This music was composed as part of my Master’s Degree research in Composition, where personality types guide the composition process of relaxing music. Focused on Conscientiousness—marked by responsibility, organization, and discipline—the concept may extend to therapeutic support for people with dementia.

To expand the OMFD project (Original Music for Dementia), we are testing the effects of original relaxing music designed for individuals with dementia on healthy individuals. Sandra, an activity coordinator at a renowned Italian care home for people with dementia, was the first to undergo testing. The goal was to evaluate the music's impact on the brain using an ECG and other physiological parameters such as blood oxygenation, blood pressure, and body temperature.

Today, I visited The Townshend Studio in London and took numerous pictures of old and expensive synthesizers and keyboards. The Rhodes piano belonged to Stevie Wonder.
