I hope you enjoy this 47 minute interview that I did for the Connectors podcast, in English. Something to listen to while doing housework or in the car

If you don't have 47 minutes, just start at minute 41 for the conclusion! :-)

Topics, in order:

  • Beginning: The village of Courcelles: saving an organ, a human vision of saving cultural heritage
  • ar min. 10: Special thanks to all the men who have helped me
  • Women artists, parity, mediocrity etc
  • MusOrgue Festival, cultural outreach at St James
  • ar. min 15: My background, how I started music, etc. Discovering a wrong chord in Mozart's A-minor sonata and becoming a composer to fix it (aged 5)
  • ar. min. 19: "Abide with me" changes my life
  • ar. min. 20: The notion of homo universalis and how it influences my life; my research affiliations and interlego
  • ar min. 23: Trying to democratizing music and developing the human condition; cultural mediation; children's involvement
  • ar. min. 25.30 sec: Striving for beauty while fighting "dystopian crap"
  • ar. min. 27: What are my inspirations? Art vs. craft; Emotions in music, semiotic changes in music

Have a great day!
