New narratives can emerge and arrive when categories and concepts can be radically reimagined. This essay is a collection of notes that play with the concept of object relations, considering the presence of non-object relations, which may appear in the form of vibration and/or sound. As a way of offering the reader examples and possibilities for non-object relations, these notes draw on theories of classical Chinese medicine, the concept of the fade-out in music, and the performance style of Pansori, a traditional form of Korean music.
