There is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. There is always something to see, something to hear. In fact, try as we may to make a silence, we cannot.

It's rare that scenes last more than 2 or 3 minutes, so sound helps segue from one scene to another.

From a strictly articulatory point of view there is no succession of sounds.

In order to lift a certain object from the ground, we have to use energy. But then to sustain it at that level, we have to keep on adding energy, or otherwise, the object falls to the ground. It's exactly the same thing with the sound.

Time perception is very much about how you sequence your activities, how many activities you layer overtop of others, and the types of gaps, if any, you leave in between activities.

Some of the most powerful times are when we're quiet.

We are visual creatures. Visual things stay put, whereas sounds fade.

The world is never quiet, even its silence eternally resounds with the same notes, in vibrations which escape our ears. As for those that we perceive, they carry sounds to us, occasionally a chord, never a melody.

Time is not a thing, thus nothing which is, and yet it remains constant in its passing away without being something temporal like the beings in time.
