Flatworm Mysticism
“It is wrong to say: I think. Better to say: I am thought. I is an other. So what if a piece of wood discovers it is a violin, and the hell with those who can’t realize, who quibble over something they know nothing about… For I is an other. If brass wakes as a bugle, it is not its fault at all. That is quite clear to me: I am a spectator at the flowering of my thought: I watch it, I listen to it: I draw a bow across a string: a symphony stirs in the depths, or surges onto the stage.” - Arthur Ri…

Nucleus Of The Decay
Nuclear decay occurs when the nucleus of an atom is unstable and spontaneously emits energy in the form of radiation. The result is that the nucleus changes into the nucleus of one or more other elements. These daughter nuclei have a lower mass and are more stable (lower in energy) than the parent nucleus.
“(...) Ábris Gryllus, known for his performative works with choreographers, sculptors, and dancers, creates music of decay and resignation. Nucleus of the Decay is shorter than its 2020 predec…
