Wind in the Ear

There exists a totality of sound that is perceived only in limited, speculative ways.


Photograph and sound recording device capture impermanence.  What is done is done.  Understand the effect subjectively and the virtue of the cause may come to light.

Listen in the lower degree to begin to hear in the higher.  Word, image, rhythm, the distortions of memory and emotional connectivity fall away.  Immersion in tones and the hidden language of tone qualities with their potential juxtapositions follows.  Song becomes sound; sound becomes vibratory being and the shackles of time and space become inconsequential.  There is no longer "music", this contrivance, but elevated experience.

One does not ask approval to create any more than one seeks permission to live.
