Sometimes you havbe to throw something together, throw it against the wall and see what sticks, you mix things you never thought could end up in close proximity to one another. In this case ending with a combo of old faves like “Legs” to noise post-punk sonic terror by Arklight and then going to a newly received CD by GenKen, the master of machinic music, yodeling by Mickey and Crew, the insane lighter side of Cathy Berberian, one of the first avant-garde divas, then to Barbara Hannigan one of today’s best living opera singers, in part because of her broad range of interest and ability to convert vocals through such a slender body into powerful voluminous resonant vocals – interesting because she is not the classic big gal we have come to expect from opera divas.
The summers used to pass by with me being able to note details in a notepad, seemingly restfully, kind of clinging to the notations made in the notepad which gave structure, meaning, purpose or direction to the days but now there seems to be increasingly less time for that. Experiencing is one thing, documentation another, fearing its vague and incomprehensible passing a totally ‘new’ development that when you were young you figured would be the opposite. The immensity and inability to comprehend the meaning the beauty the whatever was chalked up to lack of experience, to youth. But now, even with instant access to data, to the world as encyclopedia vs search engines we are ever as much unable to manage the passage of time which seems to ravage the soul like a strong wind tatters a flag from a land that no longer exists.
