Ariadne's Thread by Karolina Ossowska & Jeff Gburek

This is our Ariadne's Thread. Taken as metaphor for a trace, a trail, a mnemonic trick, a memory palace. I set out to let the sound of the violin play the role of the thread in the matrix (maze, the labyrinth of the synthesizer). I take the lead in following. I follow the lead by listening. The relation is fluid, morphean. You will have your own take on it all.
Enjoy the soulful playing of Karolina Ossowska on violin.
Seeing the thread metaphorically or symbolically, archetypally, I've articulated through the titles various imaginary realms of mapping.
ουρανογραφια: sky maps, heaven-ward and or celestial cartography -- connecting drifting photonic clusters of autonomous elementals in relation to one another in the course of one's life, finding one's self -- a miracle thread from ariadne -- the mother of the mother of god -- coil'd in the genome-- a miracle thread from ariadnean arachne spider-lady in the labyrinth -- a echolocating land mammal re-writing it's destiny by evolving into the oceans and sounding submarinely -- our themes... you may develop or evolve your own while listening thanks! -- JG
