about

[solo.operator statement]
Cycles and repeated forms are essential to the sounds we call music. They form patterns, melodies, and rhythms, and are a crucial marker for our aesthetic attention mechanism. This has something in common with the way we act in life. But some pages need to be flipped, by chance or on purpose. No matter how strongly we tethered to the past, no matter how much we want to keep some loops to be repeated more and more.

We are scattered around the world. We are lost. We are disconnected by the irreversible flow of time. And we need to admit and accept that fact in order to find ourselves in a new form, rebirth, and rise again. Make a loop wider. Flip the page you need to flip.

——

Циклы и повторяющиеся формы необходимы для звуков, которые мы называем музыкой. Они образуют узоры, мелодии, ритмы, и являются важным маркером для нашего механизма эстетического внимания. Это имеет нечто общее и с тем, как мы действуем в жизни. Но некоторые страницы приходится перелистывать, случайно или намеренно. Как бы сильно мы ни были привязаны к прошлому, как бы нам ни хотелось, чтобы какие-то петли повторялись ещё и ещё.

Мы разбросаны по миру. Мы потеряны. Нас разъединил необратимый поток времени. И нам нужно признать и принять этот факт, чтобы обрести себя в новой форме, переродиться и воскреснуть. Сделать петлю шире. Перевернуть страницу, которую нужно перевернуть.
