Also known as Paul Grosso, offers immersive sound experiences that blend the power of rhythm and music for emotional and spiritual well-being. Drawing inspiration from his early exposure to Greek dance and its deep connection to rhythm, Paul crafts Live Looping Performances and Sound Journeys that combine native flute, percussion, vocals, and strings. These performances unfold organically, creating dynamic soundscapes for deep listening, movement, and transformation. Each journey is an intuitive exploration, inviting participants into a space for emotional release, reflection, and energetic alignment.
In addition to his live music offerings, Paul co-facilitates Cacao Ceremonies that provide sacred spaces for healing and self-exploration with Move with Madleen. The Cacao Ceremonies open the heart and enhance creativity, often featuring sound journeys, ecstatic dance, drumming, and meditation.
Musical Mindset
Acoustic Sound Journey
Musical Mindset’s acoustic sound journeys offer a deeply immersive experience, centered around the rich, grounding vibrations of the didgeridoo (his primary and most beloved instrument), native flutes, hand-played drums, shakers, bells, acoustic strings, and vocal overtoning, each journey unfolds as a dynamic exploration of sound and stillness. The deep resonance of the didgeridoo, combined with the organic textures of traditional instruments, creates a powerful space for inner reflection, emotional release, and energetic alignment. Without electronic elements, these purely acoustic journeys invite participants into a meditative state, allowing them to fully attune to the natural rhythm of sound and presence.
Live Looping Music Performance
Musical Mindset’s live looping performances are a deeply intuitive and immersive experience, blending native flute, percussion, vocals, and strings into an intentional soundscape designed for a sober audience. Rooted in the spirit of medicine ceremonies, his music invites dancers and listeners to attune to what is alive within them, creating a space for profound connection and movement. Each set unfolds organically, guided by the energy of the moment, making every performance a unique journey. Having played at ecstatic dances in Minnesota, Chicago, Des Moines, Madison, and internationally at Inanitah Community in Nicaragua and Shangri-La Music Fest, Musical Mindset continues to weave sonic tapestries that elevate consciousness and invite deep presence. This offering is for sober dances such as ecstatic dance or intentional community festivals.

Each session unfolds organically, guided by the energy of the moment, allowing sound to become a vessel for emotional release, energetic alignment, and connection to the unseen.

Cultural Connection with Greek Dancing
​Music and movement have been at the heart of Paul’s journey since childhood. Since the age of six, he has been immersed in Greek Dance and Music, performing across America and Greece with some of the most renowned Greek teachers and performers, including Agis Tsakalakos.
Paul specializes in teaching and performing traditional Greek dances, including: Kalamatianos – A joyful circle dance rooted in tradition,
Zeibekiko – A soulful, improvisational dance of deep expression,
Tsamiko – A powerful, historic dance symbolizing strength and pride,
and Hasapiko – A rhythmic and dynamic dance with origins in the Byzantine era. In addition to classes, Paul hosts an annual retreat in his village in Greece, where participants have the opportunity to learn these dances firsthand in the very land where they originated. This immersive experience includes dance, music, and cultural exploration, offering a deep connection to Greek traditions and an unforgettable journey into the heart of Greek culture.
Whether through performance, instruction, or the retreat experience, Paul aims to preserve and share the rich traditions of Greek dance and music, bringing people together through rhythm, movement, and culture.
