Meditative
upcoming release
In Moira’s words: “The album Meditative is a collection of original compositions for piano and sound therapy instruments, and it is inspired by my work in clinical settings and my involvement in public health and community-based projects that incorporate the healing and performing arts.
The music is specifically composed to activate the parasympathetic response, which is responsible for the "rest and digest" state of the nervous system. This music is ideal for patients to take home as a soundtrack to aid in their healing journey. It also offers support for healthcare and holistic providers who need relaxing music and sounds to assist with their treatments. The music is designed to accompany mindfulness meditations and healing sessions and is suitable for anyone looking to unwind.”

reconnection to self
Reconnection to Self is a multidisciplinary art film by Moira Lo Bianco and Kimberly Prosa showcasing integrative practices that explore the mind-body connection through sound and movement.
Inspired by Johan Hari’s sociological studies of disconnection in relation to increased levels of overall societal anxiety and depression, this project conducts investigative movement- and music-based research in order to develop a methodology for understanding how movement and sound can support the process of meaningful reconnection to the self and community.
Sound incorporates sound therapy practices and instruments like Himalayan singing bowls and tuning forks, as well as original piano music. Movement draws from yoga and traditional medicine practices merged with modern dance styles.
Choreography by Kimberly Prosa; Music by Moira Lo Bianco; Camera work by Angelo Vasta
