A Conversation With Geoffrey West [5.23.11]
The question is, as a scientist, can we take these ideas and do what we did in biology, at least based on networks and other ideas, and put this into a quantitative, mathematizable, predictive theory, so that we can understand the birth and death of companies, how that stimulates the economy?

MUSICA. SCIARRINO, Salvatore; Morte di Borromini, per voce recitante e orchestra su testi di Francesco Borromini
Morte di Borromini, for orchestra & speaker (1988)
Moni Ovadia, speaker
Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI
Tito Ceccherini
The text for this orchestral work with reader is based on a dictate of the Baroque architect Francesco Borromini, whose work in Rome included St. Peter’s Cathedral and the Church of San Giovanni in Laterano. Plagued by depression, he took his own life in 1667. Shortly before his death a physician described the night in which he sought to write his testament and then fell upon a sword, killing himself. Sciarrino’s music does not seek to describe the events but rather reflect the emotions and madness of that night. [modernmusix.com]
