Wind, trees and music

Seated at the top of a hill I realized that the entire humankind share a single wind, a wind that travels worldwide, without borders... a ground element that we all need to live in this planet... a global breathing that touches our skin and lungs every second of our lives. Then I felt that this sophisticated, rich and beautiful global wind, this embedded living organism could feasibly teach me something… me composer… as a non-human source of inspiration. The wind affecting trees was actually the best and simpler example of this lively interaction because it triggers a contemplation disposition I have never had with any other art expression. Over these past seven years I have been dedicated to learn about it. Now I know that the Mother Nature manages time and perception in a far different way human's artistic inspiration and rational thinking do. Even if I learned that a tree has its own particular way to relate and react upon the wind, the most important for me was the mutual convergence of trees, the bouncing forest of this world. This is why now I project myself into a tree, among other trees, and I extrapolate the wind as our creative energy.
