O Maa Mariyam



A music collage assembled, under the name Soeur Orfeo, in 2021.






SOEUR ORFEO – O MAA MARIYAM

A garland is a realization device, a memory palace, a support for contemplation.
The spirit makes use of whatever it can.
I gathered the material for this garland from the twenty-one works listed below.
A voice said: Only when a word is hollow can you sing with it.
Also: Not what it is, but what it isn’t, is what it is.
When we were learning the
proprietates nominum we noticed that the one thing cooler than braiding is unbraiding.
