an entire life

dedicated to sound

Simone Gatto is a graduate Music Therapist and Mindfulness instructor who finds into music a dynamic source of emotions, reminds and energy.

Over the years, Simone has meant music as a possibility of communication, as a result of personal inspirations, as a bridge for getting in touch with people. He considers music as a vital source for reaching interior wellness, as a way to communicate successfully, as a means to help others empower themselves through sounds and creative languages. The variety of experiences and musical stimuli has brought Gatto to research the music potential together with the Italian University of Lecce on an ever-increasing
scientific scale.

The results have led to the organization
of several seminars and workshops, happening in between Italy, Germany and Holland, in which artists and music industry experts examine the relationship between sounds and emotions from diverse perspectives. The tangible findings and collected depositions has been published in late 2017 on a book where the musical context he’s studied and lived, has been offered to the world of music enthusiasts.

In March 2019 he obtained a master’s degree certificate in Cymatic Therapy from Cymatic Technologies (Atlanta), an advanced sound technology method which applies to identify the precise combinations of frequencies associated with healthy tissue and organ systems. In June of the same year he became a non- verbal therapy technician based on Rolando Benenzon’s Music Therapy model and later in the same year, he obtained the certificate of behavioral technician of the Applied Behavior Analysis method.
The two integrated approaches constitute a psycho- pedagogical balance in the approach that Gatto proposes when working with children who suffer from autism and various behavioral disorders.
In 2020 he graduated in Music Therapy at the Italian National Institute of Arts Therapy – ARTEDO in Lecce with a three years specialization diploma.

Trained at the National Institute of Arts Therapies, Simone is involved in music therapy, studying, researching and actively working in the clinical, educational and personal growth field according to different approaches.

In recent years Simone has held several workshops and seminars in Italy, Germany and Holland on psychoacoustics and sound therapy.
Since 2017 he has been conducting research together with the University of Salento on the benefits of the application of frequencies and musical compositions on plants and animals.

Acclaimed composer and live performer with several releases to his credit, since 2010 he has been running two independent record labels and performs regularly in clubs and theaters all over the world.

An internationally acclaimed performer and composer since 2006, Simone has had three albums and several publications to his credit. He is A&R and owner of two independent record labels (OUT-ER and Pregnant Void) which release electroacoustic music in its various forms on both physical and digital media.

Simone’s third full-length album, Harmonic Resonance System 432 Hz, was released in February 2020 and represents his first album entirely dedicated to a therapeutic purpose, with the choice of sounds consciously made to encourage meditation, relaxation and to support the body’s innate capacity for self-healing
