Résonance and Trop, two ways of mapping excess—excess of sound, and excess of words and data. A sense of space packed, overused, exhausted. This is when notations disconnect with what they are meant to represent, and measurements withdraw from what they are meant to measure. This is the land of asemia. Yet, as space reaches its saturation point, a gasp away from overdose—when all systems fail and meaning melts away—there is still air, some breathing room. Perhaps there, in the tiny gaps, even the tired eye might find a strange form of beauty.
