• beam of silence is about enjoying the volatility of time, and the simple beauty of emerging and vanishing sounds, their harmony. The absence of visuals is intentional.
• beam of silence is a piece of contemplation and serenity and not a piece of distraction — which 'entertainment' is often expected to be.
• beam of silence is an attempt to support the survival and further development of art — as one of the most important foundations of civilization — while we must practice patience.
• beam of silence is a ray of hope that normal life will return soon — perhaps with reevaluated and thus different ambitions, more silence, and beautiful boredom.
• beam of silence is an opportunity to give a tone to other listeners, to oneself, and last, but not least: to the artist and his team.
