Explanations on Sound Composition
In December 2025 and February 2026, I created a pair of graphic sheets in a performative act based on two poems by Emily Dickinson.
Let my first knowing be of thee
With morning’s warming Light –
And my first Fearing, lest Unknowns
Engulph thee in the night –
1872 / 1254
Best Things dwell out of Sight
The Pearl – the Just – Our Thought –
Most shun he Public Air
Legitimate, and Rare
The Capsule of the Wind
The Capsule of the Mind
Exhibit here, as doth a Burr –
Germ’s Germ be where?
1865 / 1012
Parallel to the recitation, I repeatedly wrote the relatively short texts without lifting my ink pen. This “experimental setup“ can be performed as the composition TWINS, either solo or simultaneously by several performers. While writing, speaking, and turning the paper, one should be aware of these three sonic layers.
The composition TWINS can be downloaded here free of charge as a PDF.
