Cycles, Ephemeral and Infinite

Surrounded by sounds at all times, one loses consciousness of them.



Recordings, broadcasts, and the sounds of mixed media are omnipresent.  There is a tendency to accept this state of affairs as natural, when it is not so, and of little lasting significance in the scheme of things.

The rhythms of reality are vast and broad, reaching great distances and depths and moving through cosmological time.   To compose or design sound to suggest such impressions, it is only necessary to hear more than the momentary and trifling, and to listen with the inner ear.
