about

This week's performance was about listening for little threads of suggestions from the music, and gently tugging them to find out where they led. As it happened, they led back to pedal steel, and for some pieces, lots of space between the notes...until the last few pieces, in which melodies presented themselves quickly. There's a quiet light to many of these, though there are darker shadows on a few of them. It felt as though this music manifested in the way it wanted.

I hope October is treating you well, and that you're taking care of yourself, as well.

These pieces are dedicated to the work of Kazuko Miyamoto. Thank you for listening!
