Synopsis

This book is composed with a goal to help us become more aware, more expressive, more creative and more inspired to simply work beauty with our minds. It is an invitation to an experience that may expand our hearts and minds.Marina de Moses strongly believes in the power of artistic beauty, intelligence, wit, inner sound, lyricism and humor to create a deep understanding of our times and the human condition.On her quest of cultivating a culture of curiosity and questioning - what remains of humanity when their beauty is gone - she composed this book as a counterpoint of recorded thoughts about music and the drawings about the musical nature of the surrounding world. Thus, written words from different cultures and eras, recorded in ancient and modern languages interact with etchings and watercolors of artist’s Karina Sladovic captured moments of our soundscape.Living in the world where computers can translate languages without understanding a word, where engineers are perfecting technologies that can take over intellectual processes, humans are becoming less and less aware of their absence from the whole process of inquiry about beauty and love for the mystique of art.Perhaps this perspective-shifting consideration of “listening the images” may arise another profound inquiry and inspirational moment for creation. Thus, the book’s greatest reward wouldn’t be the fascinating depth of philosophers’ thoughts only, although that is compelling, but the counterpoint of beautiful drawings and lines of words, pouring from the soul of scientists and artists who painted the marvels of the musical universe.
