There is a space before anything begins.
 
Before sound.
Before attention settles.
Before there is anything to follow.
 
This piece rests in that space.
 
The sound is minimal—sometimes barely there—allowing what comes before the tone to remain undisturbed. Silence is not something to move through. It is something to be within.
 
You may notice anticipation.
You may notice stillness.
You may notice nothing at all.
 
All of this belongs.
 
Before the First Tone is not about what is played.
It is about what exists before anything arrives.
 
Nothing is required to begin.
Nothing is required to happen.
 
Only the quiet presence…
that is already here.
