A selection of international artists were invited to participate. Each was asked to record themselves speaking the full date of all the days in a particular month of 2007 ("Monday, January 1st," etc). Their digitally recorded audio files were then sent to me, after which I added background audio to each. The words (days) are spoken by the artist—I am responsible for the background audio for all months.

Twelve months; 52 weeks; 365 days; 4,380 hours; 262,800 minutes, or 15,768,000 seconds. How aware are we of this passing time? By SPEAKING the days which exist in one year (or, LISTENING to those days), perhaps we will be more aware of the concept of time than if we were to only view those days as boxed numbers on paper.

A heartfelt thanks to all the gracious artists who have contributed to this project.

Connoisseurs of modern music would know pianist Tomoko Yazawa as a contemporary music specialist. To quote the artist, "I'm much more attracted to music that is being created than music of former times." She is a recipient of major prizes and numerous famous composers have written works for her. A true Pisces in her pursuit of mixing two conflicting elements —nature and technology, traditional and modern, vulgar and elegant— her love for the complete freedom of expression makes who she is.
