about

The whole place seemed deserted. A train whistle at last guided me to the station, a small makeshift building constructed with materials salvaged from ruins, which reminded me of a discarded film set. Even here there was no sign of life, although presumably a train had just left. It was hard to believe the place was really in use; that anything really functioned. I was aware of an uncertainty of the real, in my surroundings and in myself. What I saw had no solidity, it was all made of mist and nylon, with nothing behind.

Anna Kavan - Ice

I could see a park ahead, up on the left, behind a structure made of brick. Out front there was a steel bulletin board, rusted where the white paint had flaked away, and a few flyers for events. Evidently the little building was a library. The park was a good size. Large trees cast deeper shadows over the ground. I felt a mild breeze against my skin, and the branches and the leaves and shadows swayed and shifted like they were alive. An empty swing set sat under a dim light. Toward the center of the park was little hill, presided over by a noble tree. I couldn’t tell what kind it was, but the dark branches and leaves, against the low and cloudy sky, looked like they had been cut from black construction paper.

Mieko Kawakami - Breasts and Eggs

The sun had risen higher and was driving back the shadows of the trees across the grass where we stood, and the water was likewise advancing, and so we were held between them, in one of those processes of almost imperceptible change that occur in the landscape here, whereby you feel you are participating in an act of becoming. The stillness mounts and mounts, and the air becomes more and more charged with intensity, and finally the sea begins to give back its light like a shield.

Rachel Cusk - Second Place

It took a few listens to notice. But did you notice the long, long stretch of fade out at the end of the piece? That works. Richard Erickson

A firefly displays light in intermittent bioluminescence. These slow motion sound structures incubate and release the energy of sound, attainable by the listener, perhaps when conscious of their convergent patterns. Richard Erickson
