about
When your heart breaks... do you let go of a part of yourself?
A fragment of joy set adrift, within yet without
Like some cherished memento, hidden away in the attic
Waiting to be found again
Or do you hold tightly onto that broken piece?
Twisting and molding it, until you can make it fit again
Never lost, just transformed
These pieces remain a part of you
To find them and to hold them means to reach out and touch them
To prick your skin on their points and feel their sharp edges
To spend time with them, to know their shape
And to regard them without judgment
“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”
― Jalal ad-Din Rumi
“In time, in time they tell me, I'll not feel so bad. I don't want time to heal me. There's a reason I'm like this. I want time to set me ugly and knotted with loss of you, marking me. I won't smooth you away.
I can't say goodbye.”
― China Miéville, The Scar
“Time heals all wounds. And if it doesn't, you name them something other than wounds and agree to let them stay.”
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

Limbo is a perfect example of a minimal ambient soundtrack. Slow melody lines evoke an atmosphere of loneliness and uncertainty, while the sonic textures create a space in-between dream and nightmare. Soren Laulainen
