' ALL WE EXPERIENCE IN THE SO CALLED - OUTSITE OR OBJECTIVE - WORLD, CREATES AN EMOTIONAL RHYTHMIC RESPONSE WITIN US'
(Harry Agema)
SUGGESTIVE MUSIC
The basis of music is rhythm. Our bodies overflow with all sort of rhythms. It moves out from the beating of our heart, creating the pulsation of our arteries and our breath. The blinking of the eyes, swallowing, body movements, etc., all follow a rhythmical pattern. Colour and sound are also inextricably bound to these rhythms. The various rhythmical activities within us create a certain composition. Feeling, movement, rhythm and form, all relate in some manner to music. ' In my suggestive music I translate these moments into an artistic composition; I suggest a moment of emotional experience.'
HANDLINE COMPOSITIONS
This process, as explained earlier, is clearly seen in the skin, especially the skin of the hands, where according to Agema: ' The lines and consequent forms created can be read like a musical score, providing us with a sort of map of this inner rhythmical process'. In his handline compositions Agema makes excaptional use of thes qualities.
