"The assembled material is extra-ordinary, on many levels. Not necessarily in size, but certainly in depth. […] On first glance, one might be struck by a seemingly anachronistic stance inherent in the material. In conception and obviously manufacture, a certain delightful time lag is ubiquitously present. It is the firm constancy of theses markers that acts as benevolent alonge, freshly propelling the work(s) into new, and more timely territories of classification. […] There is, obviously, one pivotal condition at stake. Acting as a magnanimous, crucial amalgam ingredient, the carefully crafted Artworks, ooze with refined discharges, to maintain a chartered, unflinching course. Encompassing a longing for “erotics of art instead of hermeneutics”, the overlapping works by POF and ERF establish broader territories of sensuous presence…"

On phenomenological wesensschau in voodles

" For example, if we are seeking to form an idea of, or to understand the essence of, a spatial figure, such as this voodle, we must first perceive it. Then we will imagine all the possible aspects contained in this figure as changed. That which cannot be varied without the object itself disappearing is the essence. Suppose that we wish to form the idea of melody. We recall a tune which we have learned to sing, and suppose that all the notes and all the relations between the notes are changed. That which remains invariable and without which there would be no more melody is the essence we are seeking. In the same way, if we are trying to conceive the the essence of a "social process", we will represent to our selves a social process in which we have participated or concerning which we have some historical understanding. That which does not vary through all conceivable variations will be the essence. Even when one thinks in terms of of the pure essence, one always thinks of the visible - the fact. But in the case of Wesenschau, the individual fact is neither grasped nor assumed as a reality, which is shown by the fact that we subject it to an imaginary variation."

Further dwelling in the intricacies of phenomenology, Sam Renseiw subjected a recorded moment of etude exercise to imaginary variation(s), thus introducing both a tune and the reverberations of a social process.

“O reason, reason, abstract phantom of the waking state, I had already expelled you from my dreams, now I have reached a point where those dreams are about to become fused with apparent realities: now there is only room here for myself.”

Entering a staged synopsis out-lay, Sam Renseiw proceeded to records some of the moving gestures taking place in the midst of roaming, randomized soundscapes.
