Program Notes
To Sandbox –
When you sit in silence and contemplation
The slightest variation becomes significant
Subtle and profound
Two pitches that can be identified as the same
Are suddenly worlds apart
The threshold between summer and fall/fall and winter/winter and spring/ spring and summer
Infinitesimally small
When looking up at the leaves on a tree against a blue sky
At what point do we cease perceiving green and then perceive blue
…and vice versa
Let’s keep staring and listening until we perceive the mountain ranges between atoms.
