Music is the poetry of sound. It’s not only the sound of an instrument, it’s the sound of every day life: the humming of the refrigerator, the whistling of the kettle or the sound of the wind whipping through laundry outside on a clothes line. For some people even a screaming engine of a Formula One car can have a music-like sound. What makes music in your life? We are already very curious for you to share you impression.
