Tona Walt Ohama-Sometimes I fear what I might hear - Early 80s Techno Synth

Warning: begins with 20 seconds silence
Video by Heather Malek November 1984
The mountains talk here
in low tones so deep
and it becomes much too dark to speak
but here and then and now the test:
can I sit back in myself?

Still I do not hear
when I listen
unless I'm in darkness.
I remember nothing
nothing
silence.

How difficult it is to listen!

I fear what I might hear

(that's the Yamaha CS40-M for the solo in the video, but the actually recording used another synth)

ooh....

After maybe I could sit
and listen, listen,
and listen very quietly to reason
reason.

How long has been since I listened?
I fear what I might hear....

This was a no-budget video, using community cable resources (Wayne's World!!!) and Heather did all the work and organizing.

Please drop me a line sometime Heather, I have a gift for you..I've seen your name around as a producer or director or something, but haven't seen you since the day this video was shot.
