LAMPLAYERS 5000 YEARS AFTER

MUSIC WHO CROSSES CIVILISATIONS' TIME

A calendar with a very particular function which is to allow the musical displacement of temporalities in relation to the audience : provoking the genoscopy of thought due to the syncratic understanding of the conceptions of time in different civilizations.
