For the first time in his curatorial series, Oleksiy Shmurak presents his own music. Oleksiy's own creativity is distinguished by the availability of musical language and interest in scientific and philosophical concepts.The search for a single theory that would explain physical reality, namely, that would combine the expansion of the universe, gravity and quantum phenomena, was and is the holy grail of science since the time of Albert Einstein. Theories of Everything are devoted to scientific and philosophical works, esoteric practices, conspiracy theories, fantastic literary works, films and TV series.In Oleksiy Shmurak's piano cycle, the author explores the categories of causality and time, the connection of information, language, optimization, and evolution. Musically, "Theory of Everything" is full of dances, songs, paradoxical repetitions; it resembles the soundtrack to a surreal, but at the same time emotionally colored film.
