About Felix
I'm a musical composer who graduated from the Rimsky-Korsakov Saint Petersburg Conservatory (Saint Petersburg, Russia), high school educator for 5 years in the fields of Composition, Instrumentation and Orchestration at the Instituto Profesional Arcos (Santiago, Chile), double bass player recently finishing primary studies at the Izidor Handler Conservatory (Viña del Mar, Chile), and researcher with HOMOSONORUM working on the origins of communication from a sound point of view considering all living beings and their intertwining as carriers and activators of sound in its various supports and time segments. My current research focuses on torsion language (vibrations) and prosodic language (music).
I use the term “rupestrian music” for the creation of intuitive music languages, allowing people without a musical background to create a set of codes, write a musical score with them, and perform their work. My native languages are Spanish and Russian, so the lessons are available in English, Spanish and Russian. I only provide online lessons from Chile (UTC-4).

Prosodic language is the music we use when we speak, often unconsciously. My goal here is to teach how it works in conjunction with representational language (words, sentences, phrases) in order to consciously integrate it and learn how language-games can function in real-life situations. To analyze it, just like in music, there are three main branches: Rhythm - which can be slow (pulse) or fast (intonations); Timbre – color; and Articulations. In these lessons I focus on intonations (fast rhythm) of prosodic language: in other words, the melody with which we speak. Why do I teach this language? The main question for me now is, “Why are there cultures that do not legitimize otherness?” To answer that I think we need to analyze the culture as a mesh of conversations that are passed down from generation to generation, and observe how different layers of communication interact to create "constructs" that can reside in the conscious or unconscious part of our behavior. My thesis is based on the idea that our consciousness is nourished by those things that excite us and that we did understand, whereas our unconscious mind is nourished by those things that excite us but that we did not understand. An example of how this works is the relationship between music and image. When a composer writes music for a movie there are three kinds of relationships: Illustration - when the music reflects the image; Accompaniment - when music accompanies the image; and Counterpoint - when music reflects the opposite of the image. So, which do you think is the most emotional one?... It's Counterpoint. That means that if you ask something lexically and at the same time you respond prosodically, the resulting construct will be very emotional but not so understandable (depending on the situation). And vice versa, a lexical affirmation accompanied with a prosodic question will produce something similar - a very emotional confusion which will remain lodged in the unconscious mind. I distinguish two kinds of provocation: propositive and coercive. The purpose of the first is to ensure that a message, whether an idea, a desire, etc. is understood. The purpose of the second is simply to establish authority through threats, manipulation, etc. So probably part of how a culture that does not consider the legitimacy of the otherness grows, is partially the result of unconsciously imitating coercive provocations through confusions between layers of communication. And I think that understanding more languages, particularly the prosodic, can activate cultures that "listen", because they are “accepting” the legitimacy of the interlocutor. When people say "Music is a language," they are not actually using a metaphor: music is literally a language. Join me on this journey in which, through musical knowledge, we will explore this proto-language, which has a game-changing cultural potential.
