Note
“I regard creative activity as a kind of soul-fishing, and the ‘catch’ is the best medicine for loneliness, that most human of sufferings.” Witold Lutosławski
The baits are in the bags, vacuum-sealed, each containing a slice of complexed “emotions.” Together they form a glimpse of a wider picture, a transformative, dynamic fabric of ‘inexplicables” that I have collected over months and fixated in space and time.
Sometimes I record sounds or songs that I have listened to. Pierre Henry said: manipulating sound is like “‘plastifying’ music, of rendering it plastic like sculpture.” Perhaps I am taking this too literally, the sounds and songs I collected are now shaped and transfixed in sealed bags, like mini sculptures.
The collected sounds are now shuffled, they twist and turn then reconstruct themselves, morphing into this or that or something else. You may listen to them through headphones.
I am not good with words, but better at collecting. These are the emotions I have collected.
