Fragments of Bodies (2026)
An acousmatic composition in five movements.
Every body carries more than its own weight.
It carries rhythms shaped by breath, gesture, memory, and time.
Every body is a temporary shelter for rhythm.
When a body can no longer hold its own rhythm, the rhythm does not disappear. It leaves the body, changes its form, and continues as resonance, movement, texture, and vibration.
Fragments of Bodies follows these remaining fragments—not as memories to be preserved, but as living sonic traces that continue to move, collide, dissolve, and return.
Across five movements, the work unfolds as a gradual transformation of these traces: from Resonating to Bearing, from Splintering to Gathering, and finally toward Outliving the body itself.
Perhaps every disappearance leaves behind a rhythm.
This work listens to those rhythms.
