about

Average score of the jury: 7,1

Project Title/Info:
"The Sinking Sun"
Medium Description:
Analog Tape recorded concrete sculpture, synthesizer, springs w/ tape delay and controlled feedback, originally composed orchestral instrumental nuance.

Project Description/Narrative:

What is the news in the world, with its poisonous shards, convoluted?
Tapping on my skull, it spits in my ears, and resonates within.

I take comfort in the movement of the sun.
There is nothing new under her jurisdiction.
The sun is sinking, slipping into silence, behind the horizon,
our most primitive sense of balance.

The sun is sinking as it churns Red,
Spewing cinnamon and magenta
It burns my eyes and twists my foundation

Then, a drop of gold, a fleeting glimpse, a hope
again, I count on this moment.
And, again under her jurisdiction, that moment, where hope arrives,
consumes that which is nothing new.

That tapping, again!
Tapping on my skull, it spits in my ears and resonates within.

A final swell, sounds darker now as it slips underneath
everything we know as balance,

and again, as always before
She asks her quiet question: What will tomorrow bring?
~ JS-Horseman
