Full Description
In this volume, the author explores how musical composition can consciously shape the emotional experience of the listener. Drawing on affective neuroscience, music therapy, and decades of compositional practice, the book introduces the Molino Method of Conscious Therapeutic Composition, a framework for understanding how rhythm, harmony, timbre, and musical structure interact with the human nervous system. Rather than treating music solely as artistic expression, the author presents it as a temporal architecture capable of guiding emotional trajectories, supporting regulation, and fostering psychological well-being. Combining theory, clinical insight, and practical compositional tools, this book offers composers, music therapists, and researchers a new perspective on the ethical and creative responsibility of shaping emotional states through sound.
