Dream: I was in two cities at once: An American city
and a city that I was thinking was somewhere in Egypt, divided by a
muddy river. I sat on a veranda on the river and looked across to a
dense wall of mud-built structures, and there was one man in a white
robe leaning out a window looking at me. Gradually, the sun began to set
across the river when I was still in bright sunlight. It was if there
were two worlds side-by-side, one spinning at a different rate.

What my chatbot tells me when I ask, “What is an example of metamodernism in music?”: “An example of metamodernism in music would be the idea of creating a “15-minute conceptual album” that revives elements of the avant-garde while also incorporating modern sensibilities. As the blog post notes, “the conceptual album can’t even be possible in the current climate where the new ideas must be under 60 seconds.” (Well, there’s Sum IV.1...)
