Illusive sliver lures evils:
Rules rile, lives live –
Will lies sell?

Slier, wiser, sillier,
We vise ills – use wires – view silver –
Swell, swirl, rise,
Survive.

Featuring piano layered with strings.

Events occur – time passes. What happened still happened, yet enough stillness gives separation. Ideally, this detachment is partial – a boon of timely perspective, allowing appreciation of other things while retaining connection to that which was.

Featuring clarinet.

You start something – and stop it – but don’t finish. Unceasing conclusions linger, demanding an addendum of effort and tailpiece of thought. But the end is final, even if incomplete, and we are not afforded such supplementary luxuries. Experience, create, and accept.

Featuring clarinet.

Attempting truth, one tries many things. Up, down, left, right, directions that are seemingly expansive yet form a stricture we wish to free ourselves of. What is a diagonal pitch? Can things overlap, separately? And what exists beyond the horizon of the manifest?

Featuring clarinet “sightreading” (improvisationally interpreting) the cover image, itself titled “True Glimpses 1” by Franziska Baumann (franziskabaumann.ch).
