"Silhouette of a song" or "shadow of the sound" may seem at first glance to be a somewhat whimsical and contradictory title, but it is meant to describe a very real psychological experience. As human beings, we perceive auditory shadows, or images, when the sounds we hear resonate within our bodies, and those highly personal perceptions, experienced in the form of sonic silhouettes is reflective of the uniquely individual nature of the souls of all human beings who, upon hearing and reacting to those sounds, can be said to be experiencing what we call "music."
