about

Works for a 12x12 helix. Songs of healing.

When thinking about the score and how to musically interpret something without musical direction, I turned to a focus on:

1. Dependence, similarity, interdependence within each square's distinctions
2. Materials used, surface scratches, microscopic bits that have their own tiny voices. The make-up, if you will.
3. Having gone through myriad life events and art adventures facilitated by Gods and Masters.

As I overlaid notes on top of the score, creating a type of maze, I realized I was tracing out a map not dissimilar to those used in Role Playing Games; there is treasure, wonder and horror beyond each hall; every room is at least marginally distinct from the other 2 x 2 square.
