Between Sound and Space: An ECM Records Primer

by Tyran Grillo

Just as a cathedral affects body and mind differently than a seaside villa, listening corresponds and reacts to its environment.

Although bound by time, listening is multidimensional. It’s a historical act of disclosure and concealment in equal measure. In being listened to, music sheds its layers, promising liberation; crowns its champions privately and without fanfare. To listen is to approach the self, only to realize there is more self to seek.
