Silvia Nakkach: The Space in Between a Cloud and a Sound
If I tell my story from the present time, I sometimes wonder if I am a musician or a sound artist. I feel more like a sculptor that shapes sound molding time in space.

Ode to Tibet: Motherspeak
“I wrote this on the occasion of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu’s publication of the first volume of The Light of Kailash—when such an occasion arose and this Ode came together in a jumble of extravagance and love drawing on three decades interest in the country from which I benefited so much and in honor of the Master who has been a tireless steward of his country’s history and my inspiration.” – Jacqueline Gens
