"His playing has always intrigued me. His use of electronics never gives the impression of gimmickry.  Both in esoteric mood music and in standard pop, he is a master."  
   
- Henry Mancini

"The art and artistry of Tony is a love song between inner and outer space" -Jean Houston

"Tony is the Daniel Boone of Healing Music" - Cloris Leachman

"Tony's music has the capacity to take me to the deepest parts of my being"
- Joe Sargent, Paramount

"Many have said of Tony that he has done so much to put into music some of the concepts we all would like to be better acquainted with, that is, universal consciousness."
…Mrs. John Lilly.


     Tony has performed with a wide array of top performers and is recipient of numerous music awards. Tony is capable of touching souls through a broad variety of music, transcending language and culture.  

     Tony's music has long been used nationally and internationally as a conduit for finding one's own inner light. Endorsed and used as a research tool at the National Institute for Mental Health since 1986,Tony's music is used for all types of healing and well respected in the metaphysical arena.


    Music has always been a powerful force in the world. But in the hands of the true artist, wondrous happenings occur. An artist, indeed. TONY... .arranger, composer, film scorer, and musician.   He began his musical career at age three and has emerged as a notable thirty-seven year pioneer in the use of the electric violin-viola. Upon hearing his unique playing, no one is left untouched.

     From the moment he first puts his bow to strings, one is awakened... as if from a long sleep… and aware that something quite magical is about to occur.   Sweetly, softly, with the tenderness of a new lover, the strains pour forth in ever-widening circles.   One is swept away to a place of beauty... of power …of magic… far from the chatter of the mind and planet.   When awareness does emerge, one has the uncanny realization that, through the talented fingers of TONY... the sound of one’s own soul has been heard...  Melodies are plucked, it seems, as are harmonies so exquisite they seem to move the sun and stars.

     Tony says, "I just let go and tune deeply into what the person needs. To use a musical term, I resonate with their deepest part. Then I just let go with what ever comes through me."

      Is it any wonder that TONY began to find a healing channel?   He discovered that people could walk in tired or ill and leave refreshed and hopeful.  His style became so unique that he was sought by politicians for brain-waving sessions, by businessmen to relieve pressure and stimulate productive problem solving, by musicians for relaxation and creative channeling, and by doctors to augment healing.   His music is currently being used in research for reducing stress and for healing a variety of medical disorders from insomnia to asthma.

     In 1981, TONY played at the unveiling of a statue of John Lennon.   Ironically, words written by Lennon could have mirrored the saving, magical quality of TONY’s music:"Tum off your mind and float downstream. It is not dying. It is not dying. That you may see the meaning from within. It is shining. It is shining."

     And shining indeed it is ... this very special, very magical talent of TONY …arranger, composer, film scorer, musician ...and very human, human being.
