Follow a multi-faceted journey by an improviser and a musicosopher,
Eric Antoni, from the cobbled streets of Paris to the Far East.
Musical Mosaic lays coherent excursus of the author's
thought-provoking collection of anecdotes. With the absence of
lengthy verbiage of a political-social-economic nature, the book is
full of compassionate truthful descriptions of persons and
experiences and written with total objectivity, brevity,
originality, and musical creativity as inspired by the sense of
tonality, throughout the history of music in Europe, since
Monteverdi, and all over the world nowadays. As a text that is
"musico-sophical" instead of being "musico-logical," it is inspired
by the founder of phenomenology, Edmund Husserl (1859-1938), and
his philosophical seizure of consciousness. It discusses the
author's journey in the world of music and describes "musical
consciousness" and the ways in which it moves and works within us.
The book presents to the readers the author's account of the
composers he met along the way (Slamet Sjukur, Giacinto Scelsi) and
the composers who are currently active (Jean-Francois Laporte,
Pierre Michaud, Myriam Boucher, George Benjamin), along with
historical narratives that center around Monteverdi, Bach, Ravel,
Debussy, and Bartok. It underlines the interrogations held by
today's musicians in light of yesterday's mutations. With this
book, the author would like to reach out to composers, performers,
and music lovers and contribute towards opening them to the scope
of experimentation in music and in the world of sound, all of which
keep on becoming more expansive and more intensely conscious.
