.this song is about this ephemeral being
.which happens to be an air
.or we can also say:
.whizz, swish, whistle,
.hiss, fizz and buzz.
.it is also about piping,
.rattle, jingle, clink, tinkle,
.hum, chink and clang.
.while being also about going through something,
.free flow, circulation and transformation itself.
.as you pass, the puffs are welcoming you on the threshold
.and numerous sound creation opportunities are emerging
.under the pink tongue.
.feel free to play your song
.surrounded by the sounds of air
.we pass to the afterimages of steadiness and permanence.

/copper pipe/
part of the installation
created during the residency
The element of air is
attributed to copper.
It has cleansing
and healing properties.
The metal cleans water,
crystals and air.
It can activate
and opes the base
but also sacral chakra;
advancing and stabilising
the energies of intuition,
sexuality, desire, and vitality.
/kombucha/
part of
the
installation
It needs an air supply to grow.
Kombucha - also known
as tea mushroom, tea
fungus, or Manchurian
mushroom.
It is a fermented, lightly
effervescent, sweetened
black tea
drink commonly
consumed for its
purported health benefits.
It is produced by
fermenting sugared tea
using a symbiotic culture
of bacteria and yeast
(SCOBY) commonly
called a "mother" or
"mushroom".
/quartz and crystals/
part of the installation
Crystals and quartz stones
have healing abilities as
they allow positive energy
to flow into the body
thus making the toxic
energy go away.
/salt
and its
crystalizing
features/
part of
the showcase
installation
Japanese people believe salt
is cleansing, and a preserver
of purity.
In the purification rituals of
misogi (a similar concept to
baptism),
salt is used to remove all
spiritual dirt from the
individual.
Within Shinto purification
rituals, salt is one of three
items
offered to the Kamias an
instrument to ward off evil
spirits.
And during childbirth a
mother will not only bathe
in salt water to purify
herself,
but will also scatter salt
around the room to purify
Leviticus 2:13
reads: "And
every offering
of your grain
offering you
shall season
with salt;
you shall not
allow the salt of
the covenant of
your God to be
lacking from
your grain
offering.
Salt itself is
considered
good luck.
People were
once advised to
carry some sea
salt in their
pocket,
when, for
example, they
were going on a
new journey,
as it would
bring them
good luck.
Salt is a
preservative and is
considered
incorruptible and
immortal
