Sound That Heals: How Alberto Sanz Turns Yoga and Meditation into a Sonic Journey
Interview: Alberto Sanz, the Valladolid Music Therapist Turning Yoga and Meditation into a Sonic Journey
The harmony between body and mind can be reached in many ways. But when meditation and yoga are paired with sound—pure, intentional sound—something different happens. This is precisely what unfolds during the sessions led by Alberto Sanz, a music therapist from Valladolid who has made the union of music and well-being his daily craft.
His method blends breathwork, movement, introspection, and—above all—deep sonic landscapes created entirely with synthesizers and professional libraries developed through Synthonia / Synthcloud.
A Conversation with Alberto Sanz
Q: Alberto, what led you to connect music therapy with practices like yoga and meditation?
A:
I’ve always been fascinated by the way sound can change our inner state. Yoga and meditation already work on presence and awareness, but when you add carefully crafted frequencies, something opens up. People access calm more quickly. Their attention becomes softer, more receptive. Music becomes a guide rather than a backdrop.
Q: Your sessions are known for their ambient and ethereal soundscapes. How do you create them?
A:
I work with modern polyphonic synthesizers, and I rely a lot on atmospheric presets that I customize through Synthonia and Synthcloud. Every sound is selected and shaped with a specific intention—nothing is random. If I want to support deep breathing, I use warm, slow-moving tones. For visualization exercises, I layer harmonies that create space and weightlessness. And for emotional release, I introduce deeper vibrations that the body can actually feel.
Q: What kind of reaction do participants have to these sound textures?
A:
Many people tell me that the sound feels like a safe place. That’s one of the best compliments. My goal is to create an environment where the mind can rest and the body can soften. When the frequencies are well-balanced, people naturally let go of tension—both physical and emotional. The music becomes a companion, a gentle presence that supports their process.
Q: You often speak about “intention” as your main instrument. What do you mean by that?
A:
To me, intention is everything. I don’t play a sound just because it’s beautiful—I play it because it carries a purpose. I often say this, and I’ll repeat it here:
“I’m sure that the Synthcloud sounds I’m using now will help many people find peace and inner harmony.”
That belief guides the way I design and perform every session.
Q: Your work combines high-end technology and very spiritual practices. How do you balance these two worlds?
A:
Technology gives me precision. It allows me to sculpt the sound exactly as I imagine it. Spiritual practice gives me direction. When the two meet, the result is a sound journey that enhances concentration, encourages deep relaxation, and supports the body’s natural awareness. It’s not about choosing one over the other—it’s about making them work together.
Q: What do you hope people take away from your sessions?
A:
I hope they leave feeling more connected to themselves. Not overwhelmed, not “impressed” by the sound—simply connected. If someone walks away with a sense of peace, or with a little more clarity than before, then the session has done its job.
