How do you communicate without speech? That’s a
great question, and one that’s fairly important at this moment in time. Actions
cause movement, change, reform. Words seem to inflame, don’t they? They take on
such great meaning…
Field recordings take us through activity. We can
overlay those sounds on our imaginations, pretend we’re in the middle of them. Song
breaks the cycle, words inserted like ghosts or memories, yet that’s all they
are. Spoken passages float like breath and drift away, like ghosts or memories.
All is breath, all is movement, words lose cohesion and dissipate.
Words meet action, taking on such great meaning.
Words and action heal. I was so wrong about all of it!
