In
the seventies, Fabio Pellegrini founded the Tarahumara Group, an experimental
free jazz orchestra and performed with it as a saxophone player in Italy,
France, Spain and Switzerland. He performed with Noah Howard, Mohammed
Ali, Don Cherry and Donald Rafael Garrett. In the Eighties he traveled
to India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Turkey, widening the range of his experience
with several musical instruments, and finally estabilishing his passion
for the Ney, the Turkish flute used by the Maulawwiyah Sufi Order. He
studied this instrument with the jazz musician Donald Rafael Garrett
and with the Mevlevi Neyzen Sencer Derya, giving concerts and workshops
with this instrument.
His interest in the teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff brought Fabio to find a practical application of "the ideas" in the school founded by E.J. Gold in the U.S.A., the I.D.H.H.B.; his machine got him to California to help in translating and selling transformational books (as you can see in the photo below, in Berkeley, CA), as well as developing necessity using the internet, in the form of web management and experimentation with videogaming, as a spiritual tool.
Fabio Pellegrini is the Italian translator of E.J. Gold's The Human Biological Machine as a Transformational Apparatus, the first book of this author to appear on the Italian market. |
