Emil Gagliardi

“Emil Gagliardi founded Connecting the Universe Music in 2000. He is the composer, guitarist and creator of the DETACHING THE WORLD CD series. Born and raised on the coast of Maine, Gagliardi has been actively engaged with sound and music since the age of five. He studied music at the University of Maine. Honing his knowledge of tone and instrumental harmony is one of his lifelong missions, and he has embraced a wide array of musical genres while broadening his exploration of both acoustic and electric guitars.
According to Gagliardi, “Living on an island that is blanketed with snow in the winter and wildflowers in the summer keeps me attuned to nature, light and the seasons. Being here in such a wild and sublime coastal zone feeds my creative process. I try to craft an intricate, meditative sound with my guitars, inspired by a vision of light, love and connection to the universe.” 
Emil’s musical explorations in the relaxation and ambient music genre have been enriched by his collaboration with licensed massage therapist Melanie Schreiber. Ms. Schreiber uses the DETACHING THE WORLD CD series in her healing practice. In addition to sharing the music with her clients, she also serves as creative muse and musical advisor for Connecting the Universe Music.
