about

I think that silence turns into a mirror while the expectation of hearing something at the beginning of a record is diluted. The longer this silence lasts, the louder the thoughts and questions in each listener's mind. Going in the opposite direction, here is the work that listens carefully to what each person carries in their mind. It is the radicalism of absence.
I also think that when a more intense connection with this silence is reached, the ambient sounds around the listener are part of this music scene, they become music. This process reminds us that everything you hear, from the time you wake up to bedtime, is music.
