even if time doesn't loop, we do, but there's always the possibility of
catching up with ourselves -

breaking new ground

"if you want to understand what they're about, perhaps these works
will open up the vast chasm of comprehension on the edge of falling
apart - I can't think of any better pieces in this regard, and, for
that matter, in the sheer beauty of fractured movement"

works based on choreia, return, withdrawal from broken edges
(before one is cut) (before the sound loses its grasp)

how does one write or circumscribe the body of movement within
horizons defined by mappings of hyperbolic geometry in the circle?
the edge isn't just asymptotic; from the outside, it's a bad pill.
what looks like chance is a battlefield; what looks determined is
incandescent birth.

there are so many things these movements and sounds are not: listing
narrows sublimity: just look, it's almost drained away.
