about

Performed by:

Mariel Roberts, cello (mahrem)
Gleb Kanasevich, clarinet (swathe)

-
Dilige, et quod vis fac.
Love, and do what thou wilt.

-Augustine of Hippo

The English word "diligence" is rooted in the Latin word "dilige," meaning "to love." Diligence, providing undivided and caring attention, to oneself or a tool or another.

In these pieces, the performers move methodically through their instruments, placing care where they choose to, intensely and freely, at their own pace, embracing both novelty and expertise.

Augustine's fuller quote reads:

"Once for all, then, a short precept is given thee: Love and do what thou wilt: whether thou hold thy peace, through love hold thy peace; whether thou cry out, through love cry out; whether thou correct, through love correct; whether thou spare, through love do thou spare: let the root of love be within, of this root can nothing spring but what is good."

A bonus track, included in the album download, is mahrem bir eser without the performer-triggered electronic overlays.
