1. What sound from your childhood made the most impression on you?
I can’t talk about just a sound but about a mass of perceptions, feelings and emotions that in me form the first synesthetic idea of perfect harmony and amazement. In this first memory of my life, there is a strong sun backlight, stacks of books on the wood floor, Baroque shapes on the open window and two clear sounds: the high peep of the swallows and the quiet and melting drone of a sitar.
Years ago I asked my mother about this memory and incredibly she could remember that day! I was three years old and on the turntable she was playing the duet between Ravi Shankar and Yehudi Menuhin (“Shankar meet Menuhin” del 1967).
