Exodus (1999)

We are all subjected to the force of gravitation, but an unconscious desire to defeat it brings a motif of flying into our dreams. We are tied to our body and specific space and time, but the ideas of a spirit which exists outside the borders of our perception, in defiance of the body's decay, have haunted the humankind since times immemorial. From time to time, we want to be somewhere else, we want a new and better world, new EXODUS. Each life, taken separately, is in fact an EXODUS. And this music is nothing else but a suchlike journey, a composer's subjective sound image of a force that can defeat the undefeatable.
