Sounds therefore I exist [music and sound art]

SOUNDS THEREFORE I EXIST [MUSIC AND SOUND ART]

 

About the collection

To paraphrase Gustavo Basso, "sound is the mental representation of a physical event". The latter comes into existence when a person hears it. Composers, sound artists, instrumentalists, work on their creations, knead them, and cook them, but if they are not served at the table, if they are not listened to, the work remains unfinished. Creators need listening, reading of their ideas so that sound finds new minds to root and flourish, to exist.

Creators, students, and listeners generate and coexist in a network of relationships through which information flows. It is the purpose of this collection to contribute to feeding this network, searching for new ideas, new readings, new discussions, new creations.
