Imagined as a “musical hyper-text” Făbrĭca is inspired by the discontinuity of the contemporary world experience as well as by cyberspace, where all information and communication processes become global and instantaneous. Writing (composition) cannot change reality but it can change the perception of reality itself: in this perspective it remains one of the most important means of communication. from this perspective it remains one of the most revolutionary means, just like sound: immaterial, ungraspable ineluctable and therefore subversive.
