On one level, it deals with the state of rest, of silence. If we listen more closely, we see that this rest is a harmonized circling around a point and the silence is fed and defined by the sound of the surroundings.
On another, it is about the rock that seems static to us. Here too, if we look more closely, we see that in a very simplified sense it consists almost exclusively of marine deposits. After folding occurred (a process that is, of course, still not complete), the rock material was subjected to various altering influences in the course of more recent geological history. The sound of rocks rubbing against each other, the crumbling of limestone washed by ocean waves bring together these states and our inward gaze and compress the divergence into an acousmatic composition of a bioacoustic metaphor, into a glimpse beneath the surface, exposing a new dynamic and organic structure in which both the concept of rest and the attribute of permanence inscribed in the mountain seem to redefine themselves.
