about

This 104th release in this series comes out on the second anniversary of the first performance. If you're reading this, you're part of a small community that's formed around this work, and I appreciate that you're here. It's good to be present for each other, and I appreciate that you've been listening.

Words written in a little text box are inadequate, but my thoughts and concerns are with anyone trying to live their lives in the face of conflict, and with those who fear they'll be next. Let us all do what we can. I'm donating sales in March 2022 to the Center for Disaster Philanthropy's Ukraine relief effort. This performance is dedicated to the work of Ukranian-American painter Jules Olitski.
