when the canvas sounds
It is one of a kind feeling when you are surrounded by the silence that is filled and trembling with music living inside it! This is exactly how it feels being around these giants.

Listening to Galaxies faraway, here and now.
I don’t think that there will ever be words accurate and nuanced enough to express the love and admiration I have and feel for Iannotta’s music, and all the “imaginatoriums” that it takes my mind to. Her sound world is so extraordinary, and extraordinarily detailed and different for each work that sort of each one…
