Abstract
This sound file accompanies Chapter 2 of my doctoral thesis. The five soundings comprise one of the timbral lines of the study, offering an aural expression of my research.

Listen for children’s voices that call out across the playground,
across time, punctuated by the Tibetan singing bowl.
Deep breath of shakuhachi slowed and elongated.
A summoning.
Insects shimmer and buzz. Release into the entanglements of the world.
