music that allows sounds to sound:

to die away, completely, into silence

 

sounds thought from their end:

not moving forward, but drawing back.

 

this creates space, expanse, a delicate serenity:

silence - and what it shelters - becomes audible.

 

this is singing with the ears:

barely more than silence.

 

a singing which not only makes,

but becomes space: a space for worlds.

 

phrases are also sounds:

unfolded, laid out as a path.

 

sound paths that come into being first when followed,

invariably trailing off into the distance.

 

monody: everything is evident,

defenseless, at ease.

 

purity: inner clarity of song,

that needs no external gloss.
