Soul blindness - this is the diagnosis that the neurologist makes to his patient. Although he sees forms, colors and movements, he cannot combine them into something meaningful. That is why it so happened that he mistook his wife for a hat. There is no cure for visual agnosia - the technical term for the disease caused by brain trauma. The patient can only learn to live with the limitations: through the power of music, he is able to rearrange his perception and find meaning again in what his eyes see. Michael Nyman became world famous through his music for the films of director Peter Greenaway. As one of the most important representatives of minimal music, he is in line with composers such as Philip Glass and Steve Reich.
