Although the word 'sacred' is related to the word Sanskrit, it also comes from the Latin sacer. To be sacred is to be put outside the world, and it immediately brings other terms to mind: secret, mystery, closure... We do not hear an obvious resonance with the verb 'to open', so there would thus be another one, irreducible to factual presence. A question appears: how does one make this Presence - to take up poet Yves Bonnefoy's capital letter - come about musically? The East seems to have a more direct relation to the sacred than the West. This encounter between remarkable personalities will allow for broaching this question, which is so important to Zad Moultaka.
