Invigorating catching up with Danny for the first time in a few years and talking about music. Gave me the gift of More Water (SBWT). Seemed like there was some parallel between my scaling down, both in subject scope and size, and the way he spoke about approaching his live sets—locking into a groove and letting it run, choosing moments to add color sparingly. I think that's actually exactly how he phrased it, “adding color.” Interesting how his thinking felt similarly time-based to how mine feels right now. Maybe it's a little more obvious with music, but it's true that hitting people over the head with galaxy-brained haymakers over and over is a bad move both in audio and image. Getting the same sentiment from the Padgett/Brainard poetry combination (Pink Dust + I Rememeber) that I've been going to sleep with each night; private everydayness in sequence becomes greater than the sum of its parts.
