Their arrhythmia, they hear, so I listen. I hold them through me, awkwardly, more for me than them. Arms clumsy, entangled, I hear myself, through them. I share my pulse, just, knowing it will be heard but, likely, not listened to. But I still hold, they are still, I am not still. Aural spectres hold sub eclipse blood work. So I listen, hoping they hear. They can't hear my pulse, because I hold them, arms clumsy. A heard pulse, not listened to, I hold in my awkward hands. My blood work, sub itself, listening to its spectre. Work is spoken, but, not heard, and not listened to. My ears wane. I hear them and they try to hear each other as they eclipse. Blood work rushes from them, through them, between them, as an arrhythmic moonlight mobile. Spectres hold me, they hear, more for me than them, awkwardly, so I listen. I hear, their hold, a spectre, so I can't listen, but I don't mind. My pulse through their pulse, spectral, I hear and hold, I am not still. My ears wax. I hear, I do not need to be heard to listen.

SUB ECLIPSE BLOOD WORK

experimental musician/soundmaker from Apuliae
Born in 1978

Welcome here to everyone.

I hope what you'll hear inspires you.

For your growth or fall
Through the cathartic world of sounds 
that I try to propose. 

A test area 

A search for meaning 
Of this passage for ours.

Sound as a primordial frequency
Before any acquired significance

If what you hear resonates with your tuning fork
A like and a repost would be of great support.

May your journey be pleasant and constructive
in this sea of instants called life

The eternity of our days.
