Sample excerpt
Una frase corta repetida muchas veces hasta que deja de ser una frase y se vuelve otra cosa. Nadie dirige, nadie destaca, y en algún momento todos estamos en el mismo lugar.
Quédate. Quédate. Lo que se repite despacio se vuelve verdadero. No hace falta entender para pertenecer, hace falta quedarse el tiempo suficiente.
Workshop note — Impersonal, presente, meditativa. Los cánticos de Taizé se construyen sobre una sola frase breve repetida en canon: la letra debe ser mínima y soportar cien repeticiones. A 60 BPM escribe versos de seis sílabas como máximo.
