Rotation 1
At a vast point I slowly turn around my centre while calling out the names of the four wind directions when passing those directions.
While I continue rotating at the same speed, I gradually extend the vowels of the words.
Simultaneously I fade the consonants, rise the pitch and lower the volume of my voice.
After a while only the vowels of the words are audible, on a high pitch, softly and blending into each other, until no sound is heard.

further information | This work was inspired by the eternal rotating movement (Galaxy) as an important metaphor in the ideas and ceremonies of the Mevlevi Sufi-order, with which I had very inspirational meetings in Istanbul. |
