This is what used to used to happen in my little house. The  drums were in my bed room and the rhodes was in the bay window in the front.

I culled this from about 16 tracks of piano and 1 eleven minute drum track. It’s not a final mix by any stretch of my wild imagination. It’s just what happens in the middle of the night when I only want to use my ears. 

Here’s a link to the genius who plays the instruments. He’s a genius when he’s not playing the instruments, too.

Red Envelope Day

Unpacking, I found a large red envelope. Inside were photographs and postcards and various items of the like. Things I had collected over the years. Pretty little memories. And on the back of each I had written something about the image on the other side. Turn over a postcard with a photograph of a the neck of a horse and find, “the most beautiful thing in the world”. But I don’t remember ever doing this, putting together this little package to myself.
I also used to drink a lot. And eat lots of pills. 
So what I find so curious about this red arrow from my past is the photograph above. I’m obviously up to something nefarious. And yet by the two little words on the back I’m telegraphing a note to my future. Whenever I put together this little Valentine to myself, in whatever state of intoxication I was, I knew that I wouldn’t be eventually. And I knew that I would receive this present one day and so I told myself, in some strugglingly poetic way, to not be weird about the mistakes I had made. Don’t be too sorry or too unforgiving. 
“Sin”… as one postcard reads, “despite itself”… as I wrote on the back. Not sad.

when things get too dark...

Jane Campion made this series of short, hilariously dry and serene clips in 1983. They premiered at Cannes and all that biz. But they still feel like a secret when I watch them. I make up elaborate fantasies about finding a canister of 16mm film and THIS is what lies inside… I’m getting dramatic.
