My first post! 

I would like to get things moving by sharing my ideas about the time element in sound.

I have found time (!) and again that sound material seems to create its own time structures that lie outside of musical time, of ‘bars and beats’ and outside  ’seconds’.

Sound seems to reveal time, to play with time. The goal of time in sound is timelessness.

Do I pass through time or does time happen to me?

When I’m absorbed in a task,  time passes quickly, when I’m bored time can ‘drag’. Subjective time as opposed to external measured time. But not its poorer cousin.

I’m currently experimenting with a self created unit called a ‘sound-block’. A sound-block is quite simply an arbitrary unit of time either derived from the length of the sound itself or created anew, such as ‘the length of a breath’ or Pi or e etc.

Time is the same now as it always was at every moment.
