Traditional / experimental practice

Bending Time · Waiting

The quiet air of a room, a soft pad and, now and then, at irregular intervals, a single bowl strike. When the next one will come is never clear. The clock is hidden; when it ends you will estimate how long it lasted. A listening practice with no claim of any effect.
