"I engage in philosophical thought and the outcome is music," Jani Christou said. The show takes him at his word. Here is the paper trail of that thinking: letters, photographs, scores, books and handwritten notes from his archive at the Athens Conservatoire, open to the public for the first time. If your philosophy seminars never produced anything you could hum, his did.

The show borrows its title from his 1968-69 work and is laid out like a score rather than a timeline, so you read his career across time and place. A sound environment made for the show plays his major orchestral works and audiovisual fragments. Since his death in a car accident in 1970, aged 44, his story has leaned on myth; the museum sets out to replace that with his own papers.

It's in Project Room 2 on Floor 3, on the museum ticket (€10, reduced €5, free for 12 and under). It closes on 8 November. Thursday 5 November is free from 18:00 to 22:00.
