The Silence Before the Storm

This is Mu.

He appeared on the site before any music did — a stray who chose his person the moment the door opened, jumping into a lap before anyone had a chance to decide. Music works the same way: it doesn’t wait to be invited in.

He had a way of sitting in the silence before things happened, watching with the patience of someone who already knew what was coming. Years later he would find his way into a song.

The archive begins here. The music that eventually came from the silence is here.
