Just as in the work of novelist Alejo Carpentier in which the Cathedral of Santa Monica provokes in the protagonist the sensation of encountering the origins of music, the journey proposed by this “cathedral of crystals” is like the discovery of a new musical universe - an acoustic memory with a new poetic significance that recuperates the art of profound listening.

But I had been present, a few days ago, at the birth of music. I could see beyond the dirge with which Aeschylus revived the Persian Emperor; beyond the rune with which the sons of Autolycus stanched the dark blood that flowed from Ulysses’ wounds; beyond the song designed to protect the Pharaoh Una against serpents’ stings in his journey to the other world. What I had seen confirmed, to be sure, was the thesis of those who argue that music had a magic origin.
