“People, beware! we are living, today, in a moment of crisis, in a continental twilight!” This phrase sums up a surprising recurrence in the research we’ve embarked on — a project-within-the-project we’ve decided to call Unearthing Imaginary Music. It belongs, along with the concept of Imaginary music [muzica imaginara], to Octavian Nemescu, a Romanian composer celebrating 80 this year. And no, it’s not recent, though it might seem so. In fact, it iconically reappears in his older and newer writings, often along with the mention of his imaginary music series, which can thus be seen as an escape, a reaction, if not a possible solution. Some conditions apply.
