Phantoms
For some, a phantom is some weary soul coming back from the dead to haunt the living. A shadow, or maybe a ghost. Something to drive away by turning on a light. Phantoms can be everywhere and nowhere.
In the Bible, a phantom merely means "a shadowing forth, a sketch, an outline." It gives the impression of a mere shape. However, interestingly, it means "whatever makes a man remarkable or procures respect."
For us, phantom refers to a spirit, that is the vital principle or animating force within all living things. Often overlapping with the concepts of soul and mind and having a connection to breathing. Spirit and spirituality play important roles in everything that lives.
Phantom also means appearance, image, and apparition, meaning “I make visible”. We appear in less expected settings, in less expected ways, to enlighten the spirit, soul, and mind of the living. To make classical music and these settings visible.
