Snowbound

Go outside on a snowy night and record the sound of snow falling. When you have collected enough audio, go inside and play back the snow and try to find the hidden silences in its music. Lie down in bed and listen to the recorded snow while recalling someone dead you loved. Find the hidden silence of the dead mingling with the snow. Fall asleep as softly as you can. As if dying and leaving no footprints. As if fading softly into the memory of snow.
