“Time as motion is an illusion, indeed; time itself is an illusion. In the deepest sense there is only the dimension of timelessness, and in that dimension all things happen”

N. Scott Momaday, The Man Made of Words: Essays, Stories, Passages

Notes and sounds are a continuous process of expression and a way of tapping into an “extended present”, a moment bound only to itself and all others beyond time. By tuning and re-tuning the search and play begins through dancing of frequency and rythm, a process of the subconscious to be performed through eternity. This moment is but a fragment of all the others; still it is a moment of sounds and silence, free of “time”.

The 5 pianos represent five dimensions, and the performer is like a link between them, making himself an entity of an extended present, á sort of music in the dimension of timelessness.
