about

Two ambient tracks based on deep time, geometry, (dis)connection, configuration and landscapes, inspired by my involvement with the theatre project 'Megalith', and a study on abusive listening.

= All tracks can support a meditation, deep listening and other durational therapeutic/durational processes =

= breath // assonance // ephemera // liminality =

"There is a temporality and impermanence to musical experience that renders links to the identity of a person, collectivity, and a specific time and place in an extremely tentative way, unless we are assuming a very temporary state of "identity" or sense of belonging. ... The temporality of music may actually be one of the characteristics which does not so much allow an affirmation or construction of identity as a retreat from the social categories with which our sense of self must be negotiated. On this point, it may be useful to open up a space that will allow us to talk about and research the non-representational, non-semiotic, and "disembodied" aspects of musical experience and communication. ... if we are concerned with the corporeal, then we should also be concerned with the incorporeal. For example, the moments of transcendence — the feeling of going out from, away from the body, and the sensation of going down deep inside into the body. These are sensational, experiential, phenomenological aspects of musical experience that are so often avoided and evaded in sociologies of identity and either left open to mystical explanation or dismissed, from an avowedly "materialist" stance, as dubiously ideological epiphenomenona."
- K. Negus and P. Román Velázquez, Belonging and Detachment (2002).
