Further Reading:
A Gorintō is a Japanese 5-tier pagoda that is commonly found in cemeteries. The five-tiers symbolize a breakdown of perceived and unperceived universal forces; earth, fire, air, water, and the void.
—————————————————–
Literally Gorintō is a distilled breakdown of all that is, with elemental specificity; figuratively for me it has become a symbol for universality. In the spirit of people who have an intense desire to see the deep links between seemingly disparate things, Joseph Campbell, Edward O. Wilson, the great thinkers of Zen Buddhism, amongst so many others share a suspicion that everything is the same at its core. The Gorintō imagines all of the universe contained within only 5 categories of things, the 10 commandments outline our behaviors. We like lists and we like platitudes. Gorintō the piece imagines that since we’re all made of the same core things, they exist in all that we are and all that we do, no matter how separate they seem or feel. Consequently so can “sound”, “noise” and “music” co-exist side by side and intertwined.
