the voiceless downpour of the stars

...they eloquently proceeded with their task, took up again the lost human cause, and pleaded before the indifferent tribunal of stars, now set in a sky on which the shapes of the instruments floated like water signs or fragments of keys, unfinished lyres or swans, an imitory, thoughtless starry commentary on the margin of music.- text by bruno schulz, from spring - sanatorium under the sign of

spheres of resonance

there is an ancient indian folk story about the bird called musikar or dipak-lotus which had a beak of seven apertures. through each of these openings the bird was supposed to have been able to blow a different note, and at different seasons of the year it combined these notes into harmony to produce ragas with an "ethos" particular to the hour of the day and season of the year. an egg was

invisible birds (mocking bird)

it is where the great magnolia shoots up its majestic trunk, crowned with evergreen leaves, and decorated with a thousand beautiful flowers, that perfume the air around; where the forests and fields are adorned with blossoms of every hue; where the golden orange ornaments with gardens and groves; where bignonias of various kinds interlace their climbing stems around the white-flowered stuartia,

the walls are excellent & high & upon an horizontal line

invisible birds (tiny feet extending)

invisible birds (the lost estate)

sometimes, for a few steps, my feet are resting on a bank of fine sand. and in the silence, i can hear a bird: i think it's a nightingale, but i must be wrong because they only sing in the evenings... this bird is relentlessly repeating the same phrase: voice of the morning, a recital in the shade, a delicious invitation to a journey between the elms. invisible and obstinate, it seems to be
