Interview:
Music is personal and universal at the same time. It has been discussed widely but yet remains a mystery. Music exists in the universe and we are the people that bring it into shape. When we shape music, we do it with the filters of our life experience and understanding. It’s like opening a channel of innocence and peace, like an old familiar feeling of home. In “Our World”, music sometimes becomes a product. If only we could be wise enough not to forget that this “product” looses its meaning if it doesn’t take us on a spiritual journey. Music has an important role in almost every culture and religion. If we look beyond the differences of our cultures, music is a language understood by all, and that is also its beauty.
“Music exists in the universe and we are the people that bring it into shape.”
– Daphna Sadeh, composer and double-bass player
