Temporal Mantra Sound dairy
13:15 01.06
humming humming hummmmmmm…
Little pips on the background no rhythm,
no harmony, other creatures crowl slowly.
13:16 02.06
counterpoint everywhere,
voices with curiosity, come and go,
some very specific ones are directed towards me
13:17 03.06
all its voice surrounds me
from left to right, it has no end. It
is everywhere, sometimes calm,
sometimes agitated, and its voice is a
thousand voices at once
13:18 04.06
silences, the most terrible ones,
with small pauses of voice,
then silence again
13:19 05.06
a gray covers everything,
casting shadows of voices, small,
high-pitched and continuous, the
atmosphere tastes of salt, the gray
calms everything
13:20 06.06
a great presence moves quickly,
splashing its own steps, the presence
continues even though other beings also
move from time to time
13:21 07.06
a great presence is outside
of my world, so large that it covers
almost everything, it is old, calm and
made of thousands of presences, its
voice is heard in every corner
13:22 08.06
dark tones,
darker than my skin,
the voice is born from the echo,
and the echo responds to itself
13:23 10.06
small voices in the distance,
they move among themselves, creating small
conversations. A great being outside surrounds us
and imposes itself from time to time. Its voice is
a crescendo and diminuendo from Forte to Fortissimo
13:24 11.06
it flows calm and warm,
it is a sound that listens to you.
And it always converses with you
13:25 12.06
almost at the same hour
and minute, the same warm voice
talked to me. It surrounded my ears
and presence and always stayed warm
and relaxed
13:26 13.06
it comes and goes,
it comes and goes,
yet somehow it always returns,
and it always returns with its warm voice
13:27 14.06
a great dense and heavy sound covers me,
it has small voices from here and there,
irregular and without words,
the sound is so heavy that it almost becomes loneliness
13:28 15.06
on my way, someone got my attention
to come closer. As I do, a deep and small
drone can be heard, and in the distance,
other small voices appear and disappear.
Someone outside is always there
13:29 16.06
voices in the distance,
small and high-pitched, percussive
and meaningless, and in the
background, a presence that
surrounds me
13:30 17.06
who is behind the voices,
both are very dissident, they clash
and coincide in the background,
someone tries to cover them
13:31 18.06
one alone among thousands,
does not listen, only speaks and his
voice lacks meaning
13:32 19.06
it comes and goes in rhythm,
though artificial, the echo keeps resonating,
from loud to soft, but always traveling
13:33 20.06
although everything moves,
there is something static, very heavy,
and it has been there for years
13:34 21.06
something flows slowly in the distance,
I can barely hear the current of the sea,
a very small drone accompanies me
And outside there are small, punctual, and high pitched voices
13:35 24.06
No sound, no light, a deep inner thought, that’s all
