Erst encounters with ragas As a teenager, I listened to ragas for hours. I didn't know anything about them. I looked them up a little: Microtonality, meditation, tone sequence. That was all I understood. But it was the most profound musical experience - a meditation on music. To this day, ragas lead me into my inner self or into deep states of insight, which are not rational [...]
Koan - Becoming
II am thinking about Deleuze, the movement of becoming. To extinguish the sound of the brook, I must become the sound; to enter the brook, I become part of it. When I linger in the forest, I take part in the silence and the chirping, the rustling of the leaves. I become one with nature. [...]

Empty
Sor many years now, my mind has been filled with emptiness most of the time. My memory is not good either and I often repeat words or phrases in my mind without knowing why.
