Obsidian Tags: #practicenote
Place: Grasmere, Lake District


Audio: An original composition, “What Happens To Consciousness When the Clocks Stop”, featuring piano, orchestra and synthesisers.

Studio Notes:

An ongoing studio practice block. Musical and visual experiments made in response to notes and observations from Grasmere stay in June and July 2024.

I meditate today on time, and on the duration and simultaneity of experience. Do we truly have free will? Or are things predetermined? Are we able to intervene in space and time, and change? At this time I’m also working my way through a lecture on consciousness and time with Bernard Carr and Bernardo Kastrup, below.

On using [[sound]] to enter in to a world

The ‘Aural Specious Present

Hemispheres, the written word and the visual worlds in two,
Or perhaps three
Or perhaps, further still, the light between 0 and 1.
