Simone Salvatici

Simone Salvatici is a London-based sound therapist, composer, multi-instrumentalist and sound artist whose work explores the transformative potential of resonance, vibration and deep listening.

An influential figure in the development of contemporary sound therapy and immersive listening practices in London, Salvatici has spent over two decades exploring the relationship between sound, consciousness and contemplative experience. His work brings together artistic performance, deep listening, education and therapeutic practice, creating spaces where sound becomes both a musical experience and a vehicle for awareness.

Recognised for his pioneering integration of analogue synthesisers and electronic drones with resonant acoustic instruments—including gongs, Himalayan singing bowls and string instruments—he creates immersive sonic environments in which acoustic and electronic vibrations interact as a unified field of sound. Through sustained tones, sympathetic resonance and evolving sonic textures, his performances explore attention, perception and aesthetic states of deep listening.

Alongside sound therapy and his artistic practice, Salvatici is engaged in academic research through the MA Ethnomusicology programme at SOAS University of London, exploring the cultural, aesthetic and contemplative dimensions of sound across musical traditions.

His work has been presented internationally at venues and institutions including the Natural History Museum, Tate Modern, Tate Britain, Sadler's Wells Theatre and the Royal Albert Hall, as well as museums, festivals and cultural organisations across Europe.

Through performance, research and teaching, Salvatici continues to explore how sound can cultivate attention, presence and transformation through the subtle architecture of embodied listening.
