antonio testa
Composer,
musician, percussionist, music-therapist
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,
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.

"Created as the antithesis of 'musical journey', Continuum
is mental and imaginary spaces in sound; created by London
based artist and producer Gaudi with ethno-musicologist and
sound therapist Antonio Testa. The organic sounds and colours
of Antonio's ethnic, recycled and homemade instruments and
percussion, exist alongside and within Gaudi's electronic
creations and manipulations forming atmospheres in which the
mind is left free to create. Continuum is an auditory
stimulation, a gateway to a self-determined co-ordinate in
space time."
