about

After "Mundus Subterraneus", this emblematic stage of our artistic path, as Lightwave, with, undoubtedly, one of our most extreme and without concession albums...

I come back to Athanasius Kircher, a polymathic, cosmopolitan scholar, in the heart of the academic networks of Baroque Rome...

And I would like to create a series of concept albums around one of his major works: "Musurgia Mirifica".

What is the power of sounds?

What is the power of listening?

What is the power of music?

How do sounds and music build worlds?

What is the relationship between music and mathematics, between music and cosmology?

I like the idea that a musical composition is a vision of the world, a world in itself.

Sounds and harmonics create spaces, movements, perspectives, orbits, recurrences. They create worlds.

In the prolongation of Kircher's brilliant and erudite intuitions, my album would like to contribute to a reflection on the power of sounds, on the immersion in musics which propose a vision of a possible world, with its geometry, its forms, its harmonics.
