“Room Tone…”

room tone

when we contend
the presence we don’t talk

about is clear by not being
there. the goal is to win.

to delete auxiliary noise
where HVAC is the star.

the periphery frames
our continuity positions.

didn’t know we required
a blank scenario to patch

our love gone dead: block
of flats, stairs, an empty

club, constant hiss. these
unique surface signatures

to pin our hopes on. crucial
acoustics for cutting later.
