We invite you to listen to the content of issue 8 of our la fundación magazine

The section of our magazine is called “Beyond Paper”; the article is titled “Largo e rubato”. It is written and composed by Alejandro Pelayo, musician, pianist, and writer. Nothing happens by chance. Reading it in silence, without the distraction of technology or urgency, three words stand out, peremptorily: LISTEN TO THE MUSIC.
Activate the QR code and a window opens. A piano comes to life, as if the paper had at last decided to speak, unaided. The music is enveloping, slipping between the lines, accompanying, completing. The music, naturally, plays with tempo.
To “find,” to discover, we need silence and time. That is when the music emerges, a conversation with the piano that, for the author, brooks no shortcuts.
Alejandro Pelayo transforms the printed pages into a dance of letters and notes, into a slow, stolen, unfettered choreography. And in this dreamlike coexistence, the words take on a different, intimate tone, while the musician alters the tempo, as if he were Chronos himself.
