One track, one idea

SILVA

“φύσις κρύπτεσθαι φιλεῖ.”

— Heraclitus of Ephesus

“A forest is older than the language used to describe it. That is why we walk quieter inside one, and why we cannot explain why.”

ZERZURA

“Sero te amavi, pulchritudo tam antiqua et tam nova, sero te amavi! Et ecce intus eras et ego foris.”

— Augustine of Hippo

“Everyone you have ever envied was looking for the same thing, in a different direction. The city is inside. The miles outside were just the way you got here.”

The Project

The ancient world did not finish its conversation. It was interrupted — by fires, by empires, by translations. The ideas that made it through were never meant to be locked in lecture halls. They were meant to be heard, repeated, set to music. For most of human history, philosophy was sung. The separation of thought and rhythm is a recent mistake.

New tracks, with their essays.
