ABOUT
I do believe in the pursuit of beauty through art and its constant study. I adore those pindaric flights, that bring me back to the starting point, just as I love the contradictory and the paradox that open up unanswered questions.
I am fascinated by the exceptionality and subjectivity of temporal perception during the experience of both making and listening to music. Have you ever heard music breathe, thanks to the space-time dilation applied to sound resonance?
