A collage whose sounds seem indefinable and yet organic. Pauline Oliveros’s piece needs no images; they intuitively appear by themselves before our inner eye.

A purely acoustic collage whose sounds seem by nature indefinable and yet somehow organic. They mesmerise us, occasionally make us shiver at some unknown thing. Gravity seems to be suspended. This piece needs no images, because they will intuitively materialise before our inner eye like thousands of hallucinations.
