Archive of silence

The piano is one of the most complex machines ever created by humankind.
It was invented at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries in Italy – in an era that was seemingly not ready for such technical perfection.

The Archive of Silence, a historical novel with elements of philosophical sci-fi, is based on real events and authentic figures – Bartolomeo Cristofori, the inventor of the piano, and Anna Maria Luisa de’ Medici, the last heir of the famous dynasty. However, the author poses a bold question:
What if the piano was not invented, but rediscovered?

The story follows an apprentice who touches upon the mystery of tones, the memory of sound, and a forgotten civilisation that understood music as a language of responsibility – not of power. An archive that is not meant to be owned, but to be scattered. A silence that heals more than noise.

The Archive of Silence is a novel about music that does not change the world outwardly – but changes the way we hear it.
