"My 20-minute piece Nascency, composed for the POD Collective, tells the story of birth - not just of a person, but of music itself. From silence, each section unfolds and grows, gradually building a world of sound. Listening is like witnessing music come to life, emerging and expanding. A journey from nothing to something, from stillness to vibrant life.” - Abigél Varga
