gathered more cassette tapes, added another tape player, found some old field recordings, practiced some new chord shapes. might take a break here and there, might try to go slower, might watch a chantal akerman’s news from home and let bits into the mix.

maybe the result is some sort of re-enchantment where just looking around and noticing things becomes an ecstatic experience

earlier this evening i witnessed lightning strike through a rainbow against a pink sky

the most astonishing things, just happen

Exploring alternative computing models and infrastructure architectures is a great way to engage in world building towards sustainable and human centered futures

related, four years ago, luck dragon and monome workshop in progress, lots to behold but spent quite a lot of time with that peeling back wall

the farm/art dilemma is where you're attempting to finish a routine task (like cleaning the greenhouse) but are presented with nonstop profound aesthetic moments which must urgently be documented with care, here's one of too many and as a result task not completed
