Julien Libeer about music that takes us to higher spheres

Music and mysticism, for Satie and Messiaen that is familiar territory. As official composer of the enigmatic French order of the Rosicrucians, Satie composed works he described as white and immobile, pale and sacred. What a contrast with Messiaen's warm harmonies, which colour in life and death in Harawi. Julien Libeer unravels the mysterious alchemy of music and mysticism.
