“Can you imagine your own resonance? Can you imagine listening beyond the edge of your own imagination? Can you imagine that every cell in your entire body is vibrating all the time? Can you imagine the tuning of the universe? Can you imagine the echoes of all the footsteps you have ever taken?”
– Pauline Oliveros
