DESCRIPTION

The work is a representation of the Big Theme (•) in the form of the sounds of a small world of objects. The Big Theme was related to the idea that each object has its own unique sound. Every object is a very complex structure in the microcosm of objects. All objects have their own sounds, as in the music of the spheres resounding in the Universe. And if we follow Pythagoras, but in a slightly different direction, to be able to understand the elusive symphony in something so small as an object, we can assume the existence of life in space-time, the conversation of rustles - the music of the small world of objects.
(•) The term is used by J. James in connection with the Pythagorean music of the spheres.


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

ABOUT CARBORUNDUM
Carborundum is a silicon carbide that resembles fine sand. It is an abrasive substance in the form of black fine particles that are often used in abrasive paper. The second thing needed to create matrices in this technique is an acrylic primer for painting bases. The carborundum technique involves creating a mixture of acrylic primer with these carborundum or corundum particles. The metal matrix is then coated with the resulting paste. Depending on the proportions of mixing the corundum particles with the primer, different shades of grey can be obtained on the matrix with an appropriate degree of darkening. Carborundum is a non-toxic technique.
