Quotations from the booklet

"From the shock of the initial look at the paintings, there is a chain in which actions and reactions follow each other in a continuous and logical fashion, until the musical work appears"
Jean-Yves Bosseur

"Tu laisses la nuit t'envahir / tu entends tinter / ces fleurs / de rêve"
Zeno Bianu

"In this work, the eye hears what the ear sees. This a catalog for the ear"
Michael Pope

"It is music of the sky. It is a music of time, but a time going a different speed than that of the Earth, different from clock"
Robert Matta

To repeat Matta's words when he first heard this music": 'this is how I imagined my painting would sound'
