Currents

for flute, viola, harp

“Yes, I said to myself, I too love everything that flows: rivers, sewers, lava, semen, blood, bile, words, sentences. I love the amniotic fluid when it spills out of the bag. I love the kidney with its painful gallstones, its gravel and what-not…I love everything that flows, everything that has time in it and becoming…that in flowing is purified, that loses its sense of origin, that makes the great circuit toward death and dissolution.”

Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer (1934)
