About Me
- Name: Joseph
- Location: Santa Barbara, California, United States
I'm a homebody, but wherever I am is home. I enjoy cooking dinner and playing classical guitar for my friends. Ambiance is important to me. I’m neat, but a mess doesn’t bother me as long as it doesn’t interfere with the Chi of my space. I love music, hate noise; I get to choose which is which. I believe music is the language of the universe, and that 440 is the fundamental vibration of the life force. I believe in genetic logic and ethics. (They are hardwired in the Genome) We have learned to override our genes on an intellectual level, just as we are learning to override them in the physical realm, hence the human condition. I believe in the power of ing― living and dying are the same thing. If you are dying, you are not yet dead. If you are living, you are not yet dead. You get to decide which you are doing. Knowing, is easy. The difficulty is in the doing. Each morning is my birthday.

An enthralling read!
I really enjoyed reading Chaconne ... hard to put it down, and felt like I learned some history -- Mike
Bravo, Bravo, Encore!
I started Chaconne looking for an aviation story (its not) and got a very enjoyable double-play coming-of-age novel instead. Mastroianni alternates chapters of the modern protagonist, Milo, with his baroque parrallel, Bach. This provides a balanced structure for the fictionalized autobiography set against the private life of Bach - Sebastian rather than Johann to his friends. Milo and Sebastian are both richly drawn. Every chapter makes a good insular read, but two or more at a sitting is a real pleasure, especially as the novel comes to an end. Its satisfying reading to the last note. - Zail
Haven't read it yet....talked to the author though...one amazing person! Now I am definitely looking forward to reading the book. For somebody who's had such a colorful and amazing life, there is no reason for his mind not to create the same product right?! Keep up the good work joseph!
