The following two small works were inspired by American experimental performance artist, composer and musician Laurie Anderson's piece The Beginning of Memory, from her 2010 album Homeland.
The piece is set in a time before there was any earth or land, just air and birds circling everywhere. In the story one of the birds is a lark, and one day her father dies. The lark has a problem as there is nowhere to bury the body. Finally she finds a solution. She buries the body in the back of her own head.
And that is the beginning of memory.
