"One mirror, in front of another, reflects its own image infinitely. Similarly self- replicating is the dialogue-perception between musical work and audience, composer and interpreter.

At first light, a work already reflects its composer. It emerges through the reflection of the interpreter’s perceptions and ideas. These reflections are received by individual listeners, who play with them and contribute their own reflections on their signs and imagery.

Here is the beauty of this dialogue-perception: we are individuals and we offer ourselves “incomplete” – in both image and idea – to the “incompleteness” of other individuals.

This double mirror reflects cultural millennia (because no individual lives alone): it is time moulded and condensed by one perception, to incite and be interpreted by another, which is, in turn, launched into the space of a third perception. Thus the world becomes light reflected in multiple intelligences." (Estérico Marques Cunha)

The album "Espelho Duplo – Double Mirror (Works for Piano Solo)" reflects a postmodern dialogue between two compositional perspectives present in the work of award-winning Brazilian composer André Luiz Machado.

Impressively interpreted by Greek-British pianist and composer Manos Charalabopoulos, the works on this album juxtapose lyrical neo-impressionism with geometrical expressionism. Two perspectives face each other like two mirrors to incite a self-replicating dialogue, an infinity of possible perceptions for the listener.

This album is accompanied by its Digital PDF Sheet Music Booklet in the "bonus section".

"Um espelho, em frente a outro, reflete a imagem de si mesmo infinitamente. Assim o diálogo- percepção entre obra e fruidor, entre compositor e intérprete.

A obra se oferece, mas já é reflexo do compositor. E ela, a obra, aparece pela reflexão do intérprete – suas percepções, suas idéias. Essa reflexão se mostra ao indivíduo fruidor, o qual joga e reflete com seus signos, com suas imagens.

Eis a beleza do diálogo-percepção: somos indivíduos e nos oferecemos “incompletos”, em nossas imagens e idéias, à “incompletude” de outros indivíduos.

Esse espelho duplo reflete milênios culturais (porque o indivíduo não vive só): É tempo criado e condensado por uma percepção, a ser interpretada por outra percepção provocada, a qual se lança no espaço de uma terceira percepção.

Assim, o mundo faz-se luz refletida em diferentes inteligências."
