FERMATA
Fermata is a musical term that is simply defined as a pause or hold. The expression ultimately is a permission for the artist to freely decide how to react to a note, chord or rest in a charted score. This can be further interpreted to broadly mean something is empty or full, silent or sonic, moving or still. The freeze frame of a hand in motion is the equivalent of a pause or a prolonged note in the music. The durational and unrestrictive concept also relates to the TONSPUR_passage guest who can choose to pause, listen and look, or walk on.
