Alexandre holds a Bachelor of Music in Theory and Composition and a Master of Arts degree in Music Education as well as a Master of Arts and a Master of Philosophy degrees in Ethnomusicology from Columbia University. For the past six years he has been researching the properties of sound from scientific, shamanic, and historical perspectives. This has lead him to design a protocol he calls "Sound Meditation" where a specifically designed sound can have the ability to help us to disconnect from habitual patterns while listening to the traditional instruments he plays.
