" There is something that attracts me and at the same time scares me a little about places that have managed to retain some of their wildness. What is at first perceived as silence soon proves to be a patchwork of craclings, small, barely audible shrieks along with the more piercing cries usually accompanying a flutter.
In this silence there is sufficient room for all of them, those who hide and those who strike, for the questing suitors and the frolicking females, for those with big round eyes peering out just above the surface, and for the shuddering shadows entering the shortest nights of the year. It is perhaps inaccurate to label this floating carpet of sound as silence, but it seems to grasp the persisting breath that keeps intact an undetected spell, propelling itself and all the breaths that wilfully follow.
I wonder if I am a stranger here, with my harps, frames with strung wires, wooden bodies and membranes, but I soon acknowledge that I am only a stranger here insofar I want to be one. It is up to me to work my thread into this screaming carpet. It does not invite or exclude, it accepts me just like all the others, because I am ready to do my weaving. "
(Samo Kutin, accompanying text of the album SPACES XI. Translated by Gregor Zamuda.)
