Boethius (480- 524 A.D.), author of the Consolation of Philosophy, viewed music as art.
These
compositions reflect the idea that we hear with the mind as well as with
auditory perception, and that within this inner
ear we listen in much the same way as we view art, in a contemplative state
of mind and being. Being capable of
hearing much more than merely those things that assault the senses and dominate
the attention, I’m interested in creating on the other end of the spectrum, and these works attest to that fact.
