Bibliographic note

Early Career Researcher. This composition presents a reading of fixed media narrative on post-modern paradoxes of motion, and investigates the transformative potential of fleeting transients, within a narrative system of multiple strata of sonic time and perspective; the notions of observed and the observer, and the dichotomy of bullet trains (shinkansen) and stone gardens.
