“Danse de Travers” arranged for classical guitar, glockenspiel, mandolin and digital scraps.

This Erik Satie tribute from Arbouse Recordings is out and about. I did this track a year or so ago but it’s nice to see it surface on the other side. Also featuring music by Max Richter, Hauschka, Rachel Grimes and Sylvain Chauveau.

I’m still kinda reeling at this amazing lineup they’ve got. Not at all what I was expecting.

So very stoked that the Georgia Theatre is set to reopen after their fire.  Their fire was before mine and it took them a year longer to rebuild.  Helluva run to open it back up too.

"When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog chasing a stick: every time a stick is thrown, you run after it. Instead, be like a lion who, rather than chasing after the stick, turns to face the thrower. One only throws a stick at a lion once."

"Love is a dimension like time, not some small thing that has to be made more interesting by elaborate preamble. The basic dream, of both love and music, is of a continuity, something that will live forever. The simplest practical attempt at realising this dream is the family. In music we try to eliminate time psychologically to work in time in such a way that it loses its hold on us, relaxes its pressure. Quoting Wittgenstein again: “If by eternity is understood not endless temporal duration but timelessness, then he lives eternally who lives in the present”."

1. Listen to the birds.

That’s where all the music comes from. Birds know everything about how it should sound and where that sound should come from. And watch hummingbirds. They fly really fast, but a lot of times they aren’t going anywhere.

2. Your guitar is not really a guitar…
