Program Notes
a short cry moves through restrained gestures and fading echoes, tracing fragments of half-remembered expression. Murmurs, brief intensities, and fragile lyricism drift without setting. A residue remains, of memory and loss. Sounds surface tentatively, like memories half-surfaced or voices softened by distance. What unfolds is quiet and porous, shaped by the erosion of presence.
