Madison Greenstone reads CALCULUS, a new lyrical essay that unfolds some of the textual, philosophical, and poetic ideas that inform their practice, accompanied by audio selections. Throughout, they explore various influences, including Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Éliane Radigue, David Tudor, Massimo Cacciari, and others.

"I will try to illustrate some of the deeper undercurrents of meaning that enliven the whole system," writes Greenstone in CALCULUS. "Not only by writing about the sonic qualities of my instrumental practice, but by writing through it with a process that is similar to my practice in sound: iterative, circling the same moment of instigation, keeping ambivalence in active play."
