Beatie Wolfe

What?

Yeah, yeah.

It has like a directionality...

So if you're outside of the beam of the horn, it's almost inaudible, which is crazy.

So you have to be in the horn's beam.

But it was the most thrilling experience to hear the record sent directly to you.

That's just mind-blowingly cool.

And then, say, 10 or so minutes in, we then pointed it up.

And at that point, you can't hear anything.

It was amazing.

It felt like such a special, quiet moment that the five of us shared this kind of, hello, can you hear me?

It merging with the afterglow of the Big Bang, I think is beautiful as well because it's just this idea of us being so small and able to see so little of the bigger picture.

We are just part of something so much bigger than us.

And when you get a hit of that, instead of feeling small, it actually makes you feel pretty magnificent.

I mean, it just seemed to say something that we couldn't really put into words about what it felt like to us.

It felt to us like when we were making a lot of the pieces that became liminal, we were in this strange new land and it's that which is there that we can't perceive, that exists but beyond our powers of perception.

perception, this feeling of almost, you know, what is there, but we haven't tuned into it yet.

For some reason, what connects in my mind with this idea is I went to see a series of Rothko paintings and there was a black piece, you know, one of his large black paintings, and I sat on the bench in front of it and then thought, OK, yeah, I'm going to go.

And then I couldn't.

I felt like I had been anchored to this spot.
