OJP078 : Wataru Iwata / Mundi

'Mundi' from Japanese composer Wataru Iwata (see also OJP039 and OJP064) is one more time a research musically and cognitively. 

Let him explains:
"Working this time The astronomer, mathematician, natural philosopher and astrologer Johannes Kepler published Harmonice Mundi in 1619. It began with regular polygons, then the regular polyhedra, the attributes of the four elements, and the tunings corresponding to the planetary movements of the solar system, in an attempt to depict the harmony of this universe. Mundi here is translated as universe, not world, not to mention literally ‘everything’, including inorganic as well as organic matter. The umwelt of all beings is not the same, although more similarities can be found in the same specie. Of course, some beings, even of the same species, do not have as many worlds in common as one might imagine. This can apparently be translated as multiverse, since worlds are extended to each individual being.

The speed at which the sun moves across the galactic plane is approximately 70-80 000 km/h, and it takes about 226 million years to orbit the galactic centre. If we were able to view our living Earth from the solar system, the galaxy and beyond, we would be able to say that the differences between the individual worlds of the same and different kinds of being are smaller than the dust. At the same time, since the world unfolds as a unique entity to each individual dust, if we can acknowledge the preciousness of the dust, we can understand that each of these worlds is as precious as the dust. Whether living or dying, they are equivalent and that may not make much difference. This world of existence, which spreads out in the form of a three-dimensional net, is the result of the creative activities of the minuscule individual moment by moment, unfolding in such a vast way."
