Credit: Agnese Bankovska A mixed-media illustration of the summer meadow in an urban garden in Helsinki. It is bright, even though it is a July evening in Helsinki. The warming brightness envelops me. My breathing slows, and my limbs become relaxed. My field of vision has been extended to the multisensorial whole-body experience. I have become a part of the small wild meadow that shimmers almost transcendentally in front of me.

I. On Moses Sumney’s album græ , Taiye Seyasi says that ,“etymologically, isolation comes from insula , which means island.” The idea of an island is that of isolated land— is-land , a sort of contraction, a body of land insulated by a body of water. When I say island , I think of how the s is silenced into a phonetic i. I don’t know if I want to say, “I’m always contracting parts of my body” or “Parts of my body are always contracting.

It is the genuine significance of absence. It offers nothing in terms of melodies and harmonies. It is just a moment in the space of time, placing silence at the heart of it. It only offers a meta-structure named “Tacet” to an unknown future musical output. Maybe a way to answer questions like what silence affords and what it sounds like. Maybe more, maybe less… I still remember my initial reflections on 4’33” when I first listened years ago.

Johnnie Mae Warren was still alive when the police arrived. For hours, her boss, 38-year-old Dr. Russell Carrington Jr., held her hostage in his office with Mrs. Elsie Johnson and a police officer. A month earlier, 23-year-old Johnnie Mae had told Russell that she didn’t want him anymore, and he tried everything he knew to get her back. He had gone around and told everybody that they were engaged; it would have been embarrassing to admit that the beautiful Johnnie Mae no longer wanted him.

I always think about silence when it lacks the most. Living in London, silence is a bodily experience few can afford. Silence is a point zero. Slight sounds and noises develop and culminate in a clangorous explosion: that’s the music of the late capitalist city. London reflects a long history of people, machines, and migrations resulting in a sort of dystopian paradise.
