Ceremonial Abyss - Despair c60

"In Despair, the dialectic between hope and disappointment unfolds as continuous nascence of each element in the other. The paradox being that the deeper the sound, the more withdrawn it is, and the more evocative that sound is of its silence. This two-part composition is thus a revisiting of the myth of Echo, whose whispers—in multiplying—emptied themselves of meaning while resounding of solitude. And yet, if Despair weaves its layers around a nucleus of loss, it also never fully stops. Time links up with space, only for an innermost universe to fall away. One is left with a shadow, but no layer of object; windows, but no views; statements, searching for their earliest questions." - Jennifer Soong
