The Subtle Art of Lulling on International Musicians' Day
Unlocking the symphony of emotions, Augusto César Alarcón Jiménez, a UNAM maestro, reveals the magical mission of musicians – inducing relaxation. As International Musicians' Day approaches on Nov 22, let's celebrate the universal language that transcends cultural boundaries.
In the enchanting realm of music, Augusto César Alarcón Jiménez, a maestro at the Faculty of Music (FaM) of the UNAM, unveils the wizardry of sound manipulation. According to this musical sorcerer, the ultimate goal is to transport listeners to a state akin to the brink of slumber. “If someone dozes off, mission accomplished! Because, among the myriad roles a musician can assume, inducing relaxation is a mystical triumph,” he confides in a recent interview.
Musical bliss, it seems, is not just about playing notes; it's about orchestrating a symphony that nudges the audience into a serene dreamscape. “To make someone relax, forget their troubles, and maybe even snore a little – that's the true essence of our craft,” declares the university violinist, adding a touch of whimsy to the pursuit of musical nirvana.
