four directions out there, four contrasting interpretations of a prepared text and open score based on david henri thoreau’s transcendental essay about walking (1851).

readwalking, solitary thinging, in partial light *, step by step, a word at a time
in silence aloud, together alone, discreetly randomly, in hope in wonder, here and there.

“Wherever a (wo)man separates from the multitude, and goes her own way in this mood, there indeed is a fork in the road.” (henry david thoreau, life without principle, 1863)

“language is like a road, it cannot be perceived all at once because it unfolds in time, whether heard or read.” (rebecca solnit, wanderlust, 2014)
