Complete Silence: Dream Music - 完全な沈黙: 夢の音楽

Complete Silence: Dream Music - 完全な沈黙: 夢の音楽 is a triptych of sonic meditations that mixes simple, lo-fi synthesizer sounds with spacious field recordings. The title is inspired by a mysterious Twitter post by @archillect made sometime in 2019 that showed the phrase "complete silence" in white Japanese lettering on a black background, likely a screen capture from an old Japanese film. The titles 'Vedic Hymn' and 'Themes for an Aztec Moralist' are borrowed from the great Mexican poet and Nobel Prize laureate Octavio Paz (1914-1998), while 'Totemic Self-Portrait' is taken from a paper on Outsider Art by Roger Cardinal [“Toward an Outsider Aesthetic,” 33-34]. In this case, Cardinal's analysis was being referenced by Emily Olson (2008) in her own paper on the surreal paintings of Mexican outsider artist Enrique Chavarría (1927-1998), to whom the track owes its inspiration.
