VT044 | Luís Salgueiro: tractatus rhytmico-philosophicus

As listeners will soon notice, Portuguese composer Luís Salgueiro (1993) moves with ease between philosophy and music — two territories that, in his work, often mirror one another. In this episode, we join him in a quiet exploration of how thought becomes sound and how language shapes what we hear, while listening to a few fleeting excerpts from his own music.
Do we still have the courage to speak about music?
