kairos ~ time outside of time

kairos ~ time outside of time

 

2008 ~ for violin, harpsichord and real-time computer processing

commissioned by the McKim Fund in the Library of Congress, 2007

Time present and time past

Are both perhaps present in time future,

And time future contained in time past.

If all time is eternally present

All time is unredeemable.

What might have been is an abstraction

Remaining a perpetual possibility

Only in a world of speculation.

What might have been and what has been

Point to one end, which is always present.
