Música para (seres) parlantes
Contemporary music conceived as a rock album in which the sequence of tracks (alternating acousmatic and mixed musics) and the final mix, is also composed and integrated with images as a whole conceptual work.

“There is a text that accompanies “Maror”, the piece for violin and live electronics that works as a sound story where, more than a history book, it is bodies that tell about the sufferings of the Jewish people. And that text says: “I deal with ghosts the heretical rite of a religion whose god I do not know, using meaningless words taken from a dream language, made of forgotten nightmares, in which I read a shocking incomprehensible text.” This is how Jorge Sad Levi presents the musical question: in these elements is all the information needed to be able to be part of those talking beings to whom he dedicates his works. Traditions, avant-gardes, childhood, family, climates, friends, teachers, musicians and readings are some of the topics covered and, as suggested by “ My home is the rain”, all seem to form an Odyssey without Ithaca .”  Nicolas Russo , Revista XXIII
