soundless music?

“Music is feeling, then, not sound … ” from Peter Quince at the Clavier by Wallace Stevens.

what say you, ooTrayistos:

can there be music without sound?

wabi-sabi-hood

wabi-sabi is a japanese approach to aesthetics (and life) that celebrates the acceptance of impermanence. wabi connotes simplicity, austerity, modesty, all of which are felt to impart freshness of character. sabi connotes the serenity, melancholy, and loneliness that come with age. together, in wabi-sabi, they point to a bittersweet beauty that is ‘imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete.’

these seven zen principles are manifest in wabi-sabi-hood:

fukinsei - asymmetry
kanso - simplicity
koko - weatheredness
shizen - naturalness
yugen - subtle profundity
datsuzoku - unworldliness
seijaku - tranquility

und so … how might these qualities be realized in music?
