Dracma:
An ancient unit of weight which consisted of 3 scruples or 72 grains, equivalent to one eighth of an ounce or 3.594 grams.
How do you measure Art? And music, which is possibly the most abstract of all the Arts? In a society that is in thrall to objectives, results, what you earn and what you lose, it’s well worth pausing awhile to enjoy everything that is not strictly measurable and which, at the end of the day, is what brings us a breath of happiness. In the 21st century, nobody counts, weighs or pays with drachmas yet paradoxically – at least, as far as we’re concerned, naturally – we can put a Dracma in our alchemists’ mortar and transmute matter into spirit…that old dream of Man, so often forgotten.
