OPERA TOTALE is born from a strong extrasensory experience lived by Màlleus himself.
Màlleus is a poly-instrumentalist composer and a tireless searcher after emotional atmospheres and after moods when back in 1978 at the age of twenty-five he does a strange and risky extrasensory experiment (only few details of it are known) in the Ottoni’s Stronghold in Marches region in Italy. This causes in the young artist a stimulus to go through new composition ways, particularly in the Musicotherapy field, and to do closer studies in the psyche field.
After having realized in 1988-90 the very successful “OPERA I°” (12’), a test-demo of OPERA TOTALE, Màlleus is now presenting his complete work, purged by a long intellectual, psychical and spiritual toil and sifted by the artistic maturity.
Like a magic journey, it inspires in the listener a sensation of harmonious impressiveness that, thanks to its own evocative power, is able to transmit the message that is the main thread of the whole music: “the strengthening of Will” that leads man to consciousness of his inner divine spark and to the way towards the light.
OPERA TOTALE can be defined as extraordinary and dramatic, epic and mysterious, liberating and psychical, original and ancient, it is as ancient as the man because the “course” of this Opus is the search for good and evil inside man, inside his Psyche.
After the enormous work carried out for its recording (2 years of Recording studio + 25 days of mixing) and the great number of people (about 1,000) among Orchestras, Choirs, singers, musicians, actors, research groups in the fields of Musicotherapy, Psyche and Esotericism, it is not possible to play this Opus live.
So is born the idea of realizing an event that is unique of its kind, a listening that revolutionizes the idea of how perceiving music: the brilliant idea of inserting certain smells and particular perfumes at some definite points of the music has marked a definitive turning point in the show, making it unique on a world scale.
So is born the 1st Audio-Olfactory concerto in the history of music.
Since about six months in the Malleus Studios’ workrooms a team of technicians, is getting ready two gigantic olfactory diffusers called “perfuming Organs” because of their particular shape like that of an Organ with pipes made of copper. They are able to cover great areas in few seconds with smells and perfumes that are perfectly tuned with the music.
Summing of music and perfume causes a really upsetting effect since you have the sensation of being able to touch with your hand the single notes of music and of living personally the composition as if it was your own composition.
In short it is a show where strong emotions and sensations, that in most music are so rare, are with the audience for the whole 45 minutes.

The other decisive role is played by the “Highest quality of the audio equipment”.
Grisby Music Professional, the Official technical Sponsor of OPERA TOTALE, placed one of the most professional and perfect equipments, that every artist would dream of having, at disposal of Màlleus..
Given the wide range of the timbre (with a particular care of the low frequencies) and the dynamics, that is devastating in certain points of this music, we could not choice anyone other than MEYER.
Indeed it is a complete DOLBY SURROUND equipment, as you can see in the enclosed drawing.
It is controlled by DOLBY SURROUND LEXICON processor and the musical support is the original master DAT of the mixing.
