METHOD 5 / SONIC ROOM / SUPERLOOPS
THE SOUND, THE STORY, THE ENERGY OF EVERY ARTIST AND EVERY SONG YOU ARE CONNECTED TO WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR CREATIVITY.
CHANGING FOREVER THE WAY WE LISTEN AND CREATE MUSIC.
Five songs that changed your life.
“Here I am! I’m Marco Palmieri, a guy who loves to explore the less-traveled side of music. I’ve spent over twenty years trying to understand how this wonderful thing called ‘sound’ works and how we can turn it into something unique, personal, and accessible for everyone. But I’m not one of those people who takes himself too seriously.
I created the ‘Method 5’ and developed the Sonic Room, but deep down, it’s all one big game, right?
A way to make sound creativity something fun, fluid, and above all… relaxed.
​
So, what is this famous Method 5? Well, imagine someone asking you, ‘What are the five songs that changed your life?’ It seems like an easy question, but as soon as you start thinking… Bam!
You find yourself in a whirlwind of memories, emotions, nights spent singing at the top of your
lungs, or maybe those moments when a song was the only thing that truly understood you. I took those memories and turned them into a kind of ‘toolbox’ for making music. It doesn’t matter if you’re an expert guitarist, a kid with headphones, or someone who can’t tell a piano from a cheese grater—
with Method 5, you can create.
​
Now, don’t think this is all complicated and academic—because it’s not, at all! I developed software called Sonic Room, and let me tell you, it’s not another boring music production program. It’s more like walking into a playground for sounds. There’s a compass that helps you figure out where to go (because, let’s be honest, music can be a maze sometimes!), and then there’s the blender, which is kind of like putting your favorite playlist in a blender and seeing what comes out.​
​​But the best part? There’s no right or wrong way to do things here. I want anyone sitting down in front of the Sonic Room to feel that spark of freedom, like when you’re on the dance floor and suddenly think, ‘Yeah, this is me.’ Even if you have two left feet!
And you know what my philosophy is? I don’t talk about artificial intelligence—I talk about emotional intelligence. Because music isn’t made up of zeros and ones; it’s made of heartbeats, of moments when everything makes sense… and moments when nothing makes sense, and that’s okay too. And I’m here to say that if you’ve got an idea in your head, no matter how strange
or offbeat, it’s worth exploring.
​
So, if you feel like creating music without worrying about making mistakes, if you love playing with sounds like they’re Lego bricks, or if you just want to spend some time discovering something new about yourself… welcome to my world! I’m Marco Palmieri, and I can’t wait to see what you’ll do with what, until today, you thought was ‘just’ music.”

Method 5 & Sonic Room​
The "Method 5" is an innovative approach to translating musical ideas into sound. It is based on the principle that every musical idea is a copy, transformation, and combination (a crystallization) of what has been heard.
This method allows you to explore your own musical history and transform it into new sound creations through a tool called the "Sonic Room.”
​
**The Sonic Room: The Simplified Creative Mind**
The Sonic Room is software designed to simplify the creative musical process, representing a hypothetical version of our mind that processes sound images. Through the Sonic Room, sound ideas can be translated from the mental realm to the acoustic, making them communicable and
shareable.
​
The software is based on two main functionalities:​
1. **The Compass**
A guide to navigating the infinite possibilities offered by recorded music and
understanding its fundamental elements.
2. **The Blender**
A creative lab where sounds can be combined and transformed to create new
sound compositions.
​**The Starting Point: A Personal Journey**
The method begins with a journey into your own musical history, inviting the user to select 5 fundamental tracks from those listened to throughout their life. From these 5 tracks, 25 more are discovered, then 125, 625, and so on, reaching a total of 3125. This exploratory process highlights the playful aspect of the method, stimulating creativity through a personal and playful progression.
​
**Sonic Roots: An Edutainment Game**
The method and tool venture into the field of edutainment with "Sonic Roots," a game designed to explore one’s personal history through memories (recordings) and discover countless stories related to music and its characters. Through this game, each participant can connect with their musical past, exploring new perspectives and uncovering new sound connections.
​
**The Symbol (V): The Universe of Five**
The universe of "Five" is represented by the symbol (V), embodying the continuous expansion of the method and the infinite creative possibilities it offers. The number five, chosen for its manageability and symbolic value, serves as a guide through the vast array of available digital music recordings, facilitating personal discovery and reinterpretation of music.
​​
The "Method 5" and the "Sonic Room" software represent a new way to approach music creation, making it accessible to anyone. Through a personal, playful, and creative journey, every user has the opportunity to explore, reinterpret, and share their sound ideas, transforming them into new compositions that reflect their unique and unrepeatable history.
