he brings an electric guitar to the beach
where he will stroke it to produce a rare phenomenon
incomprehensible beautiful wonderful
there he plays. The
ear hears no sound
because the instrument is not
connected to an electric current, but the guitarist is
connected to the underwater currents—their echoes inside us
never faded after we left the sea hundreds of million years ago
there he plays, and although the human ear doesn’t hear a sound,
the sea, a wave embraces the invisible shape of the music. An arm rises
from the sea, it is a wave of force,
and it is searching for a knife, a sword to split the world in two
“That’s only one theory,” explains Dr Barabo. “I have another one:
I believe this arm hopes to grab the most perfect, the most ephemeral
assembly of curves: the water woman.”
what does the musician has to say about this? Nothing
This one just keeps on playing the guitar
