“Yet how strange a thing is the beauty of music!
The brief beauty that the player brings into being transforms a given period of time into pure continuance; it is certain never to be repeated; like the existence of dayflies and other such short-lived creatures, beauty is a perfect abstraction and creation of life itself.
Nothing is so similar to life as music.”
Yukio Mishima,
The Temple of the Golden Pavilion

Always searching for new musical inspiration by blending different sonorities, Nicolas is always looking for more collaborations.
