about

Inside of the pond nothing so clear happens. It’s as if the microphone is being dragged through the sand, scraping the bottom. But it is not. This is just the sum total of what is down there, from the invisible silence above. I have nothing to say and I am saying it. But I am becoming the pond. Like Thoreau became his Walden. He was just living life, near everyone else he knew but just going about it a tiny bit differently. Doing that he taught us anew how to see.

The pond contains everything and nothing. Anything contains everything and nothing, depends how much time you want to spend with it. Spend in it. I am the universe, you are the universe. Keep listening to these sounds and they will make you tingle all over. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Forget what you want, what you don’t want. If it doesn’t grab you adjust it, pitch it up, pitch it down, slow it, speed it, tweak it until you want to hear more.
