Mars' Magic Square
The Magic Square is an arrangement of integers in the form of a square table in which two conditions must be met:
First: the values are all distinct.
Second: the sum of the numbers in each row, each column, and both diagonal axes give the same results.
In ancient times there was the custom of using magic squares to arouse the strength and influences of the planets.
The 5x5 magic square of order 5 is the square of the planet Mars with a constant of 65. That is, the sum of the numbers in any row, column, or diagonal is always sixty-five.
For centuries, the square of Mars was a symbol of protection and victory, engraved on swords and helmets, appeasing success in battles.
Today, we have chosen to engrave it in music and imagery.
Because art assails and defends.
It redefines borders and is an instrument for achievements.
65 beats per minute.
Every cell with a different metric structure follows the number in the square.
Rhythmic sequences and impartial notes that can be repeated, added, unraveled, and reassembled without changing the sum of the additions: a symphonious melody.
It’s a talisman.
Because music always protects.
