these are things I find intriguing/inspiring that I keep here for my own memory and for if should anyone like to have a peek.
I do my best to credit the people responsible for what I post as well as possible and to link to them - feel free to complain if you think I've been lax.
‘A Celestial Tune By 108 Glass marbles’ by Mieko Shiomi (from ubuweb).
“I placed one hundred and eight glass marbles on piano strings and metal board around them.
Each time I hit the key, the marbles bounce or move around the strings. And they play a tune, but it never came out the same.
In Japan we have a traditional ceremony to play bells of the temples one hundred and eight times from midnight of Dec.31 until New Year.
It’s to purify one hundred and eight mundane desires which humane kind is thought to have by nature.
I want to dedicate this music to my mother who passed away in last December.”
