About this Song
Music/Other/Other, the work Sendiri centers on a quiet, universal question that tucks itself into the gaps of everyday thought, asking what the state that gives the work its title truly means, moving far beyond the superficial definition of simply not having company to hand. The work rejects the lazy, common assumption that being alone is only ever a lack, a gap to be filled by other people, instead digging into the full, layered essence of solitude as a state all its own, one that carries nuance and weight that most people rarely stop to unpack in the rush of daily life. It draws on the long line of thinkers who have grappled with this exact question for centuries, noting that philosophers and scientists across generations have dedicated significant time and thought to unpacking what it means to exist in solitude, turning over their own definitions of what it means to be alone, and how that state shapes every part of human experience, from how we build relationships to how we understand our own identities.
