Both change and recognizability are embedded in the title, Scotoma, The Blind Corner A term that has several meanings. Among other things, an expression of an area with visual limitation in the field of vision, - but also in psychology, - about "blind spots" in our ability to perceive and perceive.
The essence of music or art is thus also that space, musicians, listeners and sound together can bring each other's blind spots to life - and perhaps for a while, make us - distanceless, - in other words, - cancel the distance between the one who senses and the , we sense....
