Time is a weird dimension in the universe; its effect is always remarkable but never under anyone’s control. The effect of sound through time and the way it influences its perception is mind-numbing.

First, let’s talk about the meditational opening act by Seaming To, a composer and classically trained pianist with a degree from RNCM. Whether referred to as ‘Seaming’, ‘To’, or ‘Seaming To’, this is a performer who can create calmness in an energy field. She moved in complete silence, and her performance had perfectly orchestrated moments of controlled tension and elegance. Apart from playing the piano, she also played the flute and, at one point,
