Vittringar

Description: Recording of Bengt Emil Johnson's Vittringar. “Time is our element. We live in time, with time. The leaves fall in autumn and join what has been – the stratum between life and death where breakdown and rebirth lie very close to one another… As in nature, as well as in that part of nature we call “art.” In the time-flow we call ‘now’ you and I stand – sensing the presence of what is new, emergent – and taking part, within ourselves, in the continuing process in which everything is breaking down.… more
