The fruit of imagination
One of the most profound mysteries of this world is its creation, its birth, its life... As Anaxagoras said, "Nothing of the things that exist ever dies; rather each thing, as it is separated from another, takes on a different shape." Thus the composer creates a new universe of sounds, forms, harmonies from what he knows, what he has learned...
We dedicate the 2017 Art & Science Days to sound and visual / scientific and imaginary creation.
