Program Note

"...άνευ της αφής ουδεμία εκ των άλλων αισθήσεων υπάρχει, η αφή όμως υπάρχει άνευ των άλλων αισθήσεων."

"...without touch none of the other senses exist; touch, however, exists without the other senses."

Aristotle, De Anima

​

​

Each of the human fingers is treated as an independent voice in a 10-finger chorale, inspired by the chorales of Johann Sebastian Bach. The sustain pedal is forbidden, casting into sharp focus the touch between human fingers to inanimate keys. The performer of Care is asked to think of someone they care about, transmuting all "of the other senses" into the sensation of touch.
