FOSSILIZING THE END OF TIME
A record contains both the visual symbolism of the mandala and the acoustic symbolism
of sound that is arranged cyclically in a rotation independent
of the external space and time in which it is situated.
The physical structure of the record contains the utopic diagram
of the logarithmic spiral journey of the soul towards a timeless center
embedded in the archetypal passage of the needle from the outer rim
to the inner “endless silence” of the central groove.
Thus, the end of each spiral journey is framed by SILENCE.

Just as sound depends on empty space to resonate,
the silence at the inner core of the record plays an essential part
in the experience of its rotation.
When emptiness is, sound can be.
When silence is, music can be.
Just as the record preserves time, it also preserves the end of time.
The end of time preserves the Hyparctic Song.
When time ends, NOW can be.
