| The Sinequanon by Andrew D. Iraci |
| sinequanon (pronounced "seenay kwaa non") without which it could not be; without which there is nothing; an indispensable and essential condition. |
| This is the music of Alexander Knaifel (In Air Clean and Unseen). He is a contemporary composer from Uzbekistan. |

No,
I don't pretend, in a way, to understand,
nor know you,
nor even see you.
I say,
"I don't grasp his philosophy,
and I don't understand."
but I put out a hand, touch a cold door,
(we have both come so far);
I touch something imperishable;
I think,
why should he stay there?
why should he guard a shrine so alone,
so apart
on a path that leads nowhere?

"How did I get into the world? Why was I not asked about it, why was I not informed
of the rules and regulations but just thrust into the ranks as if I had been bought from
a paddling shanghaier of human beings. How did I get involved in this big enterprise
called actuality? Why should I be involved? Isn’t it a matter of choice? And if I am
compelled to be involved, where is the manager—I have something to say about this.
Is there a manager?” ~Kierkegaard
