What is musical thinking? How much is intuition and spontaneous invention, and how much is technique, rules and systems? Breath, friction and percussion are the main principles of all sound production, to which electricity should be added. Natural, cultural and artificial sounds, as well as harmonic, inharmonic and noisy sounds, what impact do these categories have on today's musical creation?
