Description:

I, Vittorio Amedeo Grieco aka dj.Hotlogic, love being a Multi Media Artist Bard because of it's complexity. I have to be fully present, conscious, observant, directing, loving, creative, athletic & totally out of control; pulsating tantrically in the undulating oceans of poetry, music, art, dance, & rhythms of the night.

Seize the Night, Carpe Noctem, Koi fish are my inspiration; the oriental symbol of power & abundance. In their intent to fulfill their desires they create a truly pleasurable erotic environment filled with trust, sensuality, intimacy, timing, & random undulating rhythms.

Through Alchemy, Astrology, & Aikido, I bring added dimensions to the exotic, sexual, & primal nature of art, poetry, dance, & music. Using humor & focus I take people on an intimate adventure. In our tightly structured world, people need a way to be taken to the edge; to awaken into the unknown. People need to do more than just "tweet," they need to explore & go on a journeys with other people. Above all else, we need to passionately share our adventures with each other. I thrive on the challenge of bringing people into that magical moment. When iMix I spontaneously weave 16 layers of music.

Life is mag!cal & mixing music, dance, poetry, & art is pure magic.

My background in the physics of Tantra, Aikido, Astrology, Pythagorean Mathematics, Sacred Geometry, Multi Media Graphic Design, Music Theory, Classical Piano, Jazz & Blues Improvisation Technique, & Djing are the foundations of my artistic creations. Everything I create both musically & artistically is based in the ratio of random Phi, Fibonacci sequence, creating a bridge between octaves, worlds, & the infinite. My years Alchemy, Astrology, & Aikido support me to let go of all conventional thought & trust my artistically & musical instincts.

To do this I have to be very grounded. Growing up working & later managing my family's Italian restaurant business, my International background, training, teaching, & managing a United States Aikido Federation dojo as a live in student (uchi-deshi), & my multi media graphic design freelance business, gives me the ability to be more than just a talent. I also enjoy running, organizing, & managing the business end. I work well with business professionals because they know I understand overhead costs, profit margins, in-house politics, marketing, management, & business organization. I love working, meeting, & being with new people of various backgrounds & cultures. I also love working with crowds & creating an environment for them to connect to each other.

As a Martial Artist Black Belt in Aikido, I have trained & studied under three of O~Sensei's uchi-deshi . I have traveled to many internationally Aikido seminars (stages) & translated for the head of the United States Aikido Federation in Italy. I continue my Aikido studies with Sensei Ken Ota under the guidance of Master Koichi Tohei , a 10th Dan Aikidoka & founder of the Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido, literally Aikido with Mind & Body unified, but commonly known as Ki-Aikido. Sensei Ken Ota has been recognized by & holds an honorable spot in the United States of America Martial Arts Hall of Fame & is the only Aikido dojo in California to hold such a prestigious position. Sensei Ken & Miye Ota's Cultural School is the oldest dojo between San Francisco & Los Angeles. O~Sensei Morihei Ueshiba , the founder of Aikido, has taught me the Seven Virtues of Bushido; Gi Right Action, Yuuki Courage, Jin Benevolence, Rei Morality, Makoto Honesty, & Chuugi Devotion.

With great intensity I apply these virtues & their principles to my music, dance, poetry, & art & to my fulfillment through mastery of my craft as a Bard.
