Noodling on the similarities between the time domain and sound domain.

Those of us Microsound*-pilled often talk about the different scales of time and sound, focusing on the boundaries between all of them, I guess as a way to bring our understanding of different concepts of time within a single umbrella.

Contemplating aging, mortality, and finiteness a lot lately, and I’ve been sitting with the idea of the fluidity between these scales, as well as the fluidity between the passage of each of those and of the physical sound waves that make up and encompass each of them.

The passage of time and the passage of sound waves, one and the same.
