‘What if sound is sex?’ – Suzanne G. Cusick

Engulfing. Limiting. Bordering. Being swallowed. Vorarephilia?
What is the relationship between gentleness and violence?
Chinese water torture.
Bones and All comes to mind. By Luca Guadagino. A movie about love. About eating one another as an act of love.
I guess where my thoughts are tipping towards is that gentleness is not always a form of love and care. That violence is necessary. That love is a form of violence? Interacting with another being is a form of violence? In the sense of disruption?
the world as originary violence?
“and yet?” – not fully in control, hesitation
Sonically, I often find myself layering the softest, sweetest sounds with the fullest bass I can produce. I feel that the combination fulfils both these sounds’ potential.
Does this relate to salt? Does it relate to bellies? to navels? Navels are scars.
