silence is not an acoustical phenomenon

 

silent harmonies:

three-minute sounds, stationary, quiet, pure waves

each sound has eight frequencies, each from a different octave range

 

there is silence where depth disappears and expanse emerges:

on the surface

 

in discrete continuity:

one soud goes, another one comes

and on it goes, step by step, continuously

 

still waters are said to run deep,

but in reality it is the imperturbability of their surface

that impresses us.

 

for marcia hafif:

american painter of monochrome paintings

 

and a quiet person’s silence hides nothing deep -

it hides nothing at all.
