A book on humanist philosophy, metaphysics, and yes, UFOs, Mike Fiorito is coming out with UFO Symphonic.
With the assistance of interviews from scholars, Fiorito challenges how we connect through music and journeys us into the collective unconscious, along with showing how sound is just more than something we hear.
“Out of his other works, this is by far the most interesting and challenging piece of work. I wouldn’t doubt its success,” said Kevin Atticks, Apprentice House director.
Available on Amazon, bookshop.org, Barnes and Noble, and wherever books are sold.
The book will be available on February 1st, 2025.
Description: UFO Symphonic explores the language of music and its relationship to the mystery of existence. A collection of many voices, UFO Symphonic sings like a choral symphony. UFO Symphonic suggests that music is a form of highly complex communication, a contact modality. Contact with whom? Or what? There are no final answers, the author submits. Is music one way in which the past, present and future are attempting to communicate with and through us? More than a vehicle for time travel, music can transport us to another realm. UFO Symphonic investigates how the symbolic language of music, of sound, interfaces with the collective unconscious. With the symbolism of dreams, leading us, at times, into the realm of high strangeness. Through a series of personal accounts and other people’s stories, UFO Symphonic takes the reader on a journey into the impossible.
