"I like the sensual quality of the musician's touch on the
instrument before and after a sound is made. For me, in those moments,
the performer continues to contact the sound in the elusive zone
from where sounds arise and then dissipate. ('Silence' is one of
those 'regions beyond a boundary'). This notion of 'touch' is actually
a central principle in Chinese musical aesthetics, particularly
in 'qin' (zither) music where the tactile and kinaesthetic is considered
of equal and interdependent significance to sound. The element of
'touch' suggests the spiritual dimension of music beyond its actual
physical sounding manifestation." - Liza Lim |
