Cycles seem natural and eternal. However, their constant metamorphosis is never the same. Cycles follow their own trajectory of evolutions and emergences as strings of moments. Moments are sliced, lived and experienced, almost materialized in experience that can perceive a cycle. But only thought can follow a trajectory from the past into the future. Agapea employs all available technological means: sound is produced with DIY and analogue synthesisers and manipulated with computer software, and environmental sounds are captured with a recorder used as a sound amplification detector.
