Classically trained, Kourosh Dini explores new ground in the realms of piano and electronic music. His interest lies in the discovery of various emotions in phrases be they composed in the baroque era or in present day dance clubs. He has done scores for short films, both recorded and live.

Kourosh Dini is a physician specializing in child psychiatry and is presently training in psychoanalytic technique. He feels music to be an integral part of the development of cognitive and emotional health.

Real and Virtual World Performances

For three years Kourosh has made weekly music performances and periodically speaks on meditation through his avatar Kourosh Eusebio in the virtual world of Second Life.

The music is a meditation on the natural rhythms of the unconscious and conscious mind.

The piano and synthesizer function as the medium of sound attempting to present much of the duality we find in many aspects of life.

In the virtual world, we are presented with new avenues of communication. Communication itself is more than millennia old. The virtual world is only a few years old.

However, we use the powers of language, having evolved through time as it has within the new media. In this, a very natural evolution and revolution is sparked by the virtual world.

The piano represents something that has been present for some time as an instrument that has seen most of its development over the last several hundred years. The synthesizer has been developed over the last several decades.

In blending the two, the music shows that the old and new compliment well. Nature is represented in both old and new.

As the virtual world evolves, the social qualities and communications manifest this merging duality. The music represents technology's effects on the tools and methods of man as the old and new merge with one another.
