Petar Sarkanjac

These songs are grammars, or poetics, for each emotion on the journey from nothingness to existence. They ought to be universal, naked, and raw, which is why most of the Conference features an exposed vocalist and a string quintet.

Τῇ ἐμῇ Λήθῃ σὺ Ἀλήθεια

ademimin vücudusun

عدمِمین وجودوسون — ademimin vücudusun, in square Kufic calligraphy

You are the existence to my non-existence

Les langues imparfaites en cela que plusieurs, manque la suprême: penser étant écrire sans accessoires, ni chuchotement mais tacite encore l’immortelle parole, la diversité, sur terre, des idiomes empêche personne de proférer les mots qui, sinon se trouveraient, par une frappe unique, elle-même matériellement la vérité.

The imperfection of languages consists in their plurality; the supreme language is lacking: thinking is writing without accessories or even whispering, the immortal word still remains silent; the diversity of idioms on earth prevents anyone from uttering the words which otherwise, at a single stroke, would materialize as truth.

Stéphane Mallarmé — quoted by Walter Benjamin in “The Task of the Translator”
