I'm trying to keep my work on my blog and my social media profiles freely available to the public, without recourse to ads or paywalls. Any little bit helps me to continue to provide free content online and also lets me know you are really interested, which means a lot to me!
Hi! My name is Paolo Fiore and I am an Italian musicologist, who currently makes a living teaching music privately and doing independent consultancy work, while pursuing an academic career at the University of Bologna, doing musicology research and some teaching assistance. I am also a music composer and producer, and I run both a project studio and a netlabel. I have from a while been involved in writing and public speaking about music, and I'm also studying aesthetics, communication, cognitive science and many other subjects. I have composed and/or produced music for many acts and in many genres, from classical & avantgarde to jazz & electronic—and I have performed as a DJ in clubs and festivals across Italy. Furthermore, I am even a fine art connoisseur and an (amateur) digital painter. In my public work, I combine my musical talent and musicological expertise with out-of-the-box thinking to translate the complex science of music as an academic subject into new, practical ideas that everyone can use to help themselves on their journey through the World of Sounds toward vibrant Harmony! Recently I changed my opinion on social media (previously avoided due to privacy concerns) and launched a personal blog and several social profiles, starting to share my experiences and findings online. I started my Ko-fi as a way to support my work on the blog and on my social profiles. You can reach my blog at PaoloFiores.BlogSpot.com. Please subscribe to the RSS feed and join my occasional newsletter to be always updated on my interests and activities! You can also find me (@PaoloFioreRules) on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, and some other social media platforms. For more info and business inquiries, please contact me on Skype (live:ThisIsPaoloFiore) or via email (PaoloFiore@Mail.com). Feel free to write in your choice of English or Italian.
Hello, this is Paolo Fiore. Welcome to my Ko-fi page! 😀 I run a personal blog (at PaoloFiores.BlogSpot.com) that is one of the few blogs on the Web focused on the study of music as an academic subject as well as on a variety of related topics concerning the arts, science, technology, and the human condition. On top of that, I post about my life experiences, my ongoing projects, my other online activities, and other random stuff. But, since you're here, you probably already know that—and you probably also know how the blog has enjoyed good readership from the beginning because of the emphasis on scientific evidence and on points of controversy, where experts disagree. In fact, I like to dig up implicit assumptions and examine them to find out if they are warranted. Intellectual transparency is also emphasized. I try to make it clear why I think the literature says what I think it says, especially since I often interpret research results as supporting conclusions other than those of the other experts. I want to continue to provide my readers with a thoughtful interpretation of the complex science of music as it unfolds, and I want to synthesize some of these ideas into a popular book—but it is time-intensive! In order to focus on creating free content online, I've invested time and money by rejecting paid jobs and allocating personal savings. This will give me a chance to reach the audience that I think it would benefit and interest. However, it will not be self-sustaining. Rather than advertising, an irrelevant distraction at best, I would prefer to enable voluntary contributions at the reader's discretion. Ko-fi provides a structured mechanism for this that allows you to show your support with a low level of commitment. So, if you like my content and want me to continue providing free content online, please consider supporting what I do with my blog and social media profiles as well by offering me a coffee on Ko-fi! Thank you!! ❤️
