Drawn from the same Sicilian source, this work reduces the song to a near-monochrome of black, beige, grey and silver. Stripped of colour, the melody is read through rhythm, weight and interval alone: arcs, discs and segments set against a quiet ground, with a faint compass line that leaves the underlying method visible. Where the brighter works translate sound into hue, here the score speaks through structure and restraint, a more contemplative register within the same research. Part of the artist's process-based practice, it is less a picture than a notation, a surface that musicians can interpret and return to sound.
