Sounds Like: A pomegranate, Jacques' music is full of seeds... robins pecking at a pomegranate... mermaids mourning Neptune's death, children rejoycing at the magician's arrival, the doubt between love and hate, the sound of remembering one's birth, the lullaby of departure, a butterfly conducting a ghostly orchestra, the ruins of a hortus conclusus, the tenderness of the devil...
