about

There’s a funny thing about the night sky: the busier you are, the less of it you tend to see. Sometimes you have to get away for awhile to really get a good look.

CA-198 is a duet for speakers and is best performed by two people who are quite comfortable with one another. I wrote it for John Pisaro about a trip we took to Sequoia in early 2018; it remains one of my most cherished memories. John was kind enough to record it with me this summer. The track under it is actually a repurposed track from face the mirror, my MFA capstone show; the original presentation of that track was also a point of connection for two people sharing a close relationship, so I'm happy to give it a new home here.

lyrics

Stars. One, two, three, then six! Eight! Ten! Millions. And then, an open door. Light. And we're back to one.

We're on the outskirts, away from all the lights, and... stars. One, two, five, six, maybe a dozen. One falls, but then, a car. Light. And we're back to a handful.

We're in the city, and - let's not even start.

Six months go by, and we're finally away. And it's dark. Finally.
One, two, three, six, eight, ten... millions.

Notes On Belonging
by Tiny Leaves

Inspired by the Welsh notion of “cynefin,” which is thematically similar to the LP’s title, “Notes on Belonging” is both warm and wistful. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 16, 2017
