To summarise our presentation (because I realised we did not include our explanation in the slides above), we wanted to use the ensō as a symbol for music because we draw parallels between the two.

The ensō is Japanese for circle and has its root in Zen Buddhism. The practice of drawing an ensō expresses a moment where the mind is free to let the body create. The ensō itself represents both the universe the mu, the void. Similarly, this is how both Amber and I interpret music to be: both sound and silence.
