Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

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 personŐs silence hides nothing deep -
it hides nothing at all.
