- Program Notes
- You are set in a Room. The only source of light is from a single window high above your head, letting in just a sliver of moonlight. drip. Your attention is pulled onto the sound of water, dripping intermittently. Becoming more aware of the silence, you begin to hear your own... breath. it is too quiet. so much so that you can hear the ringing in your ears. The sounds are now coalescing in your thoughts. listening. its becoming more difficult to parse out the sounds - there is too much. its more than unnerving now. it’s uncomfortable, but you can’t stop listening. lean back. close your eyes. concentrate. you take a few deep breaths as the sounds coalesce before it... clicks. you can finally place it. all of these sounds in their rightful places. the room and your ears are finally cooperating. your eyes are adjusting. the dripping continues - you stop to listen for a while.
