The new year is (2026) coming and I hope everyone dreams come true and It will. So this is the best thing I learned in 2025 . The idea came to me when i listening to Pauline Oliveros ideas.

Interviewer: And why North America rather than South America? Varèse: Because there was activity here: there were already established orchestras. There was a ...
