UFO Symphonic

 

  

"Fiorito has created a work of fiction, but it’s not a work of fiction. It’s something more than that. "

— Whitley Strieber 

  

UFO Symphonic makes an important contribution to the worlds of music, creativity and ufology.  I’m sure that many readers will find Mike Fiorito’s insights on creativity and the origin of inspiration fascinating, as I have. They resonate with my own experiences in composing/channeling the healing music that I’ve recorded since  

—Steven Halpern, Grammy nominated recording artist and a founding father of New Age music  ()

  

 UFO Symphonic explores the relationship between music, synesthesia, and UFOs. This is a fresh and welcomed contribution to ufology.
—Earl Grey Anderson, MUFON State Director of Southern California

UFO Symphonic reaffirms life, reminding us that we are embedded within a miraculous reality—whether the rapture that holds us originates from a rock concert or from a UFO.
—Joshua Cutchin, author of Ecology of Souls: A New Mythology of Death & the Paranormal
