Stillness invites the act of listening. Life on an island does this, too. Instead of moving through the world, living on a small island gives one the sense of having the world move through oneself. Monica Kidd does this every summer when she travels to her family's cabin on a small island in the Bay of Exploits, Newfoundland. There is no electricity or running water, and the world, except for the water and weather, is very still. "Summer Stillness" is a soundscape from that time and place. - MK
