Wightman was a first-grader when he began studying violin at Indiana University, where his dad was a chemistry professor. This idea of a sort of abrasive ecstatic stasis is something I’m very exited about and want to explore.” If you hear something repeated over and over again, your mind starts to hear it differently.
