Moments Before by Gabriel Naim Amor
“Moments Before as it indicates, suggests the occurence of an imminent change or event…small or big, dramatic or light, welcome or disorienting. In opposition to the flat line of death, the pulse of life is celebrated here by the dynamics, contrasts, accidents inherent to any living environment. Unlike a saturation of information often resulting in that monotonous “flat line”, the use of silence and space is attempting to reveal and emphasize each event which hopefully will keep us engaged and interested as a listener.”
