that we may time transcend

for microtonal accordion duo, 2024

that i may time transcend,

that a universe my heart may unfold.

my arms and legs rot off and through my blood 

rushed forth;

the tranquility of my heart shall be prized above all.

i am not me. 

i cannot become

myself

~Takeshi Murakami

premiere: saturday, november 9 2024 by Duo XAMP in Harvard University’s Paine Hall
