Dragon's Eye Recordings is pleased to
present Static Forms by Pierre Gerard
and Shinkei. In lieu of a traditional
album description, the artists and
DragonÆs Eye Recordings offer the
following quotations.
"The silence that I manufacture, hears
only my ears. like these lengthened
forms, often."
û Pierre Gerard
"Le silence, c'est la meilleure
production qu'on puisse faire, parce
qu'il se propage : on ne le signe pas et
tout le monde en profite."
û Marcel Duchamp
"On peut voir celui qui regarde, mais on
ne peut pas entendre celui qui Θcoute."
- Marcel Duchamp
ô...But now there are silences and the
words make help make the silences. I
have nothing to say and I am saying it
and that is poetry, as i need it. We
need not fear the silences, we may love
them.ös
û John Cage (from Lecture On Nothing)
ôMusic already enjoys inaudibility.ö
û John Cage (from Satie Lecture)
ôàFor it is the space and emptiness that
is finally urgently necessary at this
point in history (not the sounds that
happen in it - or their relationships)
(not the stones - thinking of a Japanese
stone garden - or their relationships
but the emptiness of the sand which
needs the stones anywhere in the space
in order to be empty). When I said
recently in Darmstadt that one could
write music by observing the
imperfections in the paper upon which
one was writing, a student who did not
understand because he was full of
musical ideas asked, 'Would one piece of
paper be better than another: one for
instance that had more imperfections?'
He was attached to sounds and because of
his attachment could not let sounds be
just sounds. He needed to attach himself
to the emptiness, to the silence. Then
things - sounds, that is - would come
into being of themselves. Why is this so
necessary that sounds should be just
sounds? There are many ways of saying
why. One is this: In order that each
sound may become the Buddha.ö
û John Cage (from Silence)
