Yes refers to the soliloquy of Molly Bloom, the last chapter in James Joyce's Ulysses. [...] The repetitive "Yes" is ambiguous and complex, it casts many shadows and refers to different themes: to the moment of orgasm while half asleep; to the life-affirming "Yes"; to the "Yes" that seals the acceptance of fate; to Molly Bloom's memory of countless sexual encounters. [...] Through the movement of sound, the space itself becomes a resonating body. Yes sketches a music that steps out of the flow of time, projected into space like a sound sculpture – that in the moment of listening, strives for an absolute focus on the physical presence of sound.
