>From Wikipedia (diacritical remarks removed):

In the early Rigveda Vac refers to cosmic sound, envisioned as
feminine. Vak as the earliest sounds is mentioned in Rigvedic
thought in RV 10.71.14, as the source of language, words some
hear but don't understand, as follows:

"When men, Brhaspati!, giving names to objects, sent out
Vak's first and earliest utterances
All that was excellent and spotless, treasured within
them, was disclosed through their affection."

"Where, like men cleansing corn-flour in a cribble, the
wise in spirit have created language,
Friends see and recognize the marks of friendship: their
speech retains the blessed sign imprinted."

"With sacrifice the trace of Vak they followed, and
found her harbouring within the Rsis.
They brought her, dealt her forth in many places: seven
singers make her tones resound in concert."

"One man hath ne'er seen Vak, and yet he seeth: one man
hath hearing but hath never heard her.
But to another hath she shown her beauty as a fond
well-dressed woman to her husband."

(For an exhaustive analysis, see Andre Padoux, Vac: The Concept
of the Word in Selected Hindu Tantras, SUNY, 1990.)

The kyizi pieces were extremely short; in order to link them, I
sent them through various applications; what should have been
simple turned towards digital noise, an analogy for cosmology's
theater itself. Further then I took to return the w/hole to its
particular or catastrophic plateaus (in the mathematical sense
of fragile equilibrium) - using dynamics processing, hard
limiting, and carefully tending the almost invisible appearance
of structure, as if it were struggling to escape what was left
of the tattered world of hearsay, grey war, false news, and
doxatic communities of legitimation and superstitious agreement.
Well then, the result was unexpected and here, of course, the
result reduced from .wav --> .mp3 but that's what we're used to
hearing now, yes?

And even so, earphones _reveal._
