Argle: I believe in nothing but concrete material objects. [..]
Bargle: You know, there are remarkably many holes in this piece.
Argle: There are.
Bargle: Got you!

Holes are interesting.
We're so used to saying "to make a hole" that we don't think much about the strangeness of it.
Nothing is made. If anything, creating a hole unmakes something—the material we remove to give space to it. And yet—or that's why—holes are interesting.
Recently I found myself more and more interested in deliberate silences in my music. When looking for a thread to bring the work together, bringing holes to music full of silences made perfect sense.
All tracks composed and performed on Max/MSP. Sound sources limited to oscillators and resonant filters. No samples, no reverb.
The album cover and the artworks for each tracks are experiments with materials with holes. Some real, some not.
