To conjure music, musicians surrender themselves to musical structures: their bodies, their brains, their movements. From here, the power of music also spreads to the bodies of those who expose themselves to the sound, penetrating and forcing its way through ears, eyes, skin. In this way, music shapes thoughts and bodies, sinking into the world of the subconscious where form and structure are shipwrecked and sink to the bottom as fragments, only illuminated on occasion by the light of fluorescent jellyfish.
