------------------------------------------------------

See, this is just the song folded up together into a neat parcel. It's a letter fashioned into its own envelope. All of it is still in there, it's just pocket-sized now. Not that it was all that big before - people have been carrying it around for years of course. Really I've done nothing at all worth talking about, just a little folding up. I should probably say that it'll sound a bit different though, but I suppose you can see that already. You might have to listen carefully for a while, but that's a nice way to listen, isn't it? I think so, at least. It'll take a bit of patience, and then you might hear it or you might not. Or you might find something else instead. But that would be just as good, wouldn't it? The only other thing I'll say, though I'm not sure that I should, is that it's not really a chord. It's just some notes happening together. It's the song on pause and play at the same time. I'm not sure that made sense. . . all I mean is that it's not so much about balancing them as letting them balance themselves. Or letting them not balance themselves. It's about being careful, but not because it's fragile - the opposite, I suppose. Maybe I've said too much. Or maybe I just haven't said anything useful. . . Well, either way, here it is. Feel free to ignore all of this.

yours,

The Birds; they stare at me from the window (Stephanie Lamprea)

From way back. Only ever released on a compilation in North Carolina from the radio station WQFS.
"On the surface of Jupiter, a storm rages on forever and ever".  Since I wrote the song 20 years ago, I've learned that the storm is shrinking. Nothing lasts forever.

Episode 1.2: Readwalking

Emmanuelle Waeckerlé is a London based academic, artist, composer and improviser interested in the materiality and musicality of language.

Her practice evolves across multiple interconnected work zones – conceptual writing, performance, new musical composition, artist-publishing – and manifests as poetic scores, occasions for their activation (installation, performance, workshop) and resulting image, text or sound works.

Ultimately devising situations to deepen our connection to or play (with) our interior or exterior landscape and each other, through or beyond words.

Kevin and Adriana discuss building community; generosity and power relations; self-care; clarity and intention; learning how to resist, stop, not work; with Emmanuelle.

Together, they performed Emmanuelle’s ‘Song of an Intention’; Emmanuelle and Adriana also realised ‘Readwalking with Thoreau’.
