Infinite Mind: Marimba, Audio Track, Optional Video

Infinite Mind (2023)

The recorded voice in Infinite Mind is that of Noam Chomsky, taken from an interview in 2023 when he was 94 years old. It is a chilling interview covering many imminent threats to human civilization, with a deep focus on the underlying need for recognising the truth of our situation. But it is also moving and inspiring, as toward the end the interviewer manages to draw him out a little and have him talk (somewhat reluctantly) about his personal life. 

In the first part, Terminal, we hear about one of the two most most dire threats facing us now; nuclear war.

In the second part, Noam, we alternate between descriptions of one of the most dangerous people currently alive, and Chomsky reminiscing about some of the most miraculous moments in his own life. The space between these two polarities, a kind of yin and yang of our potential as human beings, is the space where most of us exist.

Chomsky’s voice is suspended over an eloquent and often energised solo marimba, both woven around, and within, an enhancing audio track.

Infinite Mind was commissioned by, and is dedicated to, Justin DeHart.
It was made possible with funding from Creative New Zealand.
