Each composition has its own aged piano, each with its own intonations, creaks and sighs. These “imperfections” become the raw musical material from which further sounds are probed, discovered, and developed.

“Korf ar Son never strays far from their source in silence and stillness: sound and image linger at the periphery, fading into an indefinite monochrome haze. A perpetual suspension in a liminal state. An invitation to attend not only to its own resonances, but likewise to those inarticulate resonances that we bear, often unnoticed, within ourselves.
The music of Korf ar Son emerges just as much from the act of listening as it does from performance. Each composition has its own aged piano, each with its own intonations, creaks and sighs. These “imperfections” become the raw musical material from which further sounds are probed, discovered, and developed.
From the act of listening comes images, which are, in a sense, graphic transcriptions of the music. They map out not so much a spatial topography as much as a temporal one: a hypnotic journey into the deep interior.”
