This poetics study seeks to answer a question like, "What is music?"; its conclusion would be something like, "It's sharing time with the Other." Investigations into how one shares time with the other, privately or publicly, leads the author to intersect personal observations within musicking and resonant concepts from various other domains, such as ethics and love. The result outlines a sparse poetics of being (loving) with the other—this principle inseparable from musical practice.

I am really interested in the time love endures. Let’s be more precise: by “endure” one should not simply understand that love lasts, that love is forever or always. One has to understand that love invents a different way of lasting in life. That everyone’s existence, when tested by love, confronts a new way of experiencing time.
