 The Creative Life of a Blind Composer: Blessings of an Artificial Disability 
In this article, the visually impaired author invites us to question the exceptional emphasis placed on the visual when discussing musical composers’ sources of creative inspiration. Using his personal life as an example, he explores the richness of our world in non-visual beauty, be it in the form of sound or texture, and guides us through his creative process from experience toward creation. He elaborates on the process of putting his musical ideas on paper, discussing the technological tools he uses and various obstacles whose origin he traces to human-designed conditions that favour the constant use of vision in daily practices. Through his personal experiences and observations, he urges us to view lack of vision as a constructive actor in creative life, making the case for rethinking the real cause of his disability, and turning the very concept of disability on its head.
