Lobrev - Viva Facsimile (2017)

“Symphony. This word is heavy. It holds up a mirror to the composer and in the reflection one sees the ghosts of the greatest musicians that came before. But the 21st century is light. In opposition to the heavy burden of the symphony, the lightness comes from the speed of the world, interconnected through cables and wires. Freedom comes from that.	
	I invite you to feel the light. To just be in this moment. Here and now.”
/Polina Porotskaya/
