Psyche and body are reflected facing the sound. Your mind absorbs the words of sounds (sound-word), and the voices of the words combine with your mind, The definitive moment of Sound and resonance. The rupture of the sound in the contract of silence. Sound events and incidents of sounds, the computing system of incidents and the incidents that computes us. Creating words and attracting the vocabulary of the sounds surround us in combination with your mind. And your mind means our mind.
