» Music from Somewhere posed some questions from the very beginning of its conception: How do I relate myself to the piano when it is not physically present? How are my pianistic movements linked to the score when the resulting sound is not a consequence of the notation? All these lines converge in the self-consciousness of my moving body, on the proprioceptive process of the pianistic gestures that I have acquired through all my student years.  Music from Somewhere challenges the pianist to rethink all the mechanic and automatized movements, the visible and the invisible, the different kinds of memories we develop, and creates a new space where sound, silence, gesture and pre-gesture are inter-connected.» Haize Lizarazu
