The Vital Sounds transforms the concept of existence into sound. It envisions an environment where life itself—its rhythms, patterns, and pulses—is translated into music. Each vibration and irregular beat represents a living presence, forming a sonic ecosystem that constantly strives to persist. The accordion, with its breathing resonance, interacts with electronic textures to evoke the continuity of being. Together, they reveal that vitality is not found in perfection but in motion, fragility, and the shared pulse that connects all living things.
