Time Unredeemable places the performer at a crossroads, offering a choice between two paths. As the work unfolds, the performer reaches a crucial juncture reminiscent of life's pivotal moments. Here, they face a decision that alters the composition's course, acting as a catalyst and reshaping its trajectory. This decision draws parallels to the choices that shape our lives. Time Unredeemable serves as an exploration of how the performer influences the narrative, revealing the complexity and consequences of decision-making.
“Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future,
And time future contained in time past.
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable.”
(from T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets)
