"In the sound performance “Still” I confront the audience with an ontology of the non-quantifiable, through the union of space and time, and the re-integration of the senses."
"Have you noticed that Western music emphasises linear time? Melody is a continuous sequence of sounds. Harmony and rhythm follow a progression from beginning through climax and resolution. Is it possible to have an art that is based on non-linear time? Can we even experience non-linear time?" - Efraín Rozas
