About
Ecstatic Dance Journeys · Live Flute · Organic Electronic Music
Alex Tarolo is an Italian musician, composer, music producer and Ecstatic Dance facilitator, based in Milan.
Through Into the Whale, he creates immersive musical journeys where organic electronic sounds, ancestral rhythms, world music influences and live flute come together to invite free movement, self-expression and connection.
His approach blends the energy of electronic music with the depth of acoustic instruments and the spontaneity of live performance. Each journey unfolds naturally, moving through different rhythms, textures and atmospheres, from grounding sounds to expansive, uplifting moments.
Into the Whale is an invitation to let go of expectations, listen to the body and explore movement freely, without choreography or judgment.
Based in Italy, Alex is open to collaborations with Ecstatic Dance communities, conscious event organizers, festivals and retreat centers worldwide.
