Abstract
This sound file accompanies Chapter 3 of my doctoral thesis. The five soundings comprise one of the timbral lines of the study, offering an aural expression of my research.
Listen to the commas between the accelerating drumbeats.
Notice the rhythm of the festival, the summoning of kami, ancient gods
carried on the shoulders of the shrine bearers.
Can you feel the weight of their work, your work, transported across ocean?
My saxophone enters, evoking practice and place.
