1st PIECE : Classical Suite I - The String Theory
Each Part has 7 Pieces.You are listening to 1 of Part I.
"Fascinated by science, I was thrilled to learn about what was defined as «the string theory» by the physicists at the end of last century. It is said, in a simple and poetic way, that at the deepest
quantum level, this creation is made of a web of strings. This work is my representation of the sound
of the dancing strings of our universe."

3rd PIECE: Classical suite III - Brain Chemistry Under Storms –
There are 7 pieces. This is the 3rd one.
There are about the limits the mind reaches when in time of utmost stress whether it is physical , emotional or spiritual : the shock of love at first sight, the end of a passionate love affair, the mental state of a pilot in a war plane that has just been shot down, the intake of a powerful drug, the fear of someone who has been told that he suffers from a deadly disease, the pain of a mother who has lost her child.
These are the sound of the brain chemistry during these life experiences.
These pieces have been written as a tribute to Boeldieu, a composer who lived at the beginning of the 19th century. He wrote a Harp Concerto. In this concerto is a theme which is used as the main melodic thread of these pieces.
Written performed produced by e.valletti. Recorded direct live with a Blue Camac Electric. Mastering : Norscq
