"There's something to me something about hoarding or accumulating or the need to own things and purchase things and have things in your life. I understand it on a lot of levels and obviously I have stuff and I have more plants than a person should have. But there's something about that impulse. It's the opposite of the impulse I have, which is to shed everything and have nothing. So I say that because, that's like where the tension is for me, right? Because I want to understand … what is this accumulation? Like, why is why is this? How is this? What is this?”
this is a kind of excavation, or puzzle
imagine these pieces as parts of a whole.
there are 3 parts, 3 layers.
You can also listen to these perspectives simultaneously in duplicate or triplicate, open all three audio files at once and hit play on each one.

X Axis: The rationale of a body in pain
Think about each layer existing at the same time and bleeding together.
Y Axis: The hoarding habits of two manhattan heirs
these tracks are three in the same, layers of perspective that align and come together.
Z Axis: The distribution of massive objects in time and space
Each layer is like a different perspective to a single thing that is too massive to perceive all at once.
