John Lennon said that whatever changes we go through, whether they be permanent or not, last forever because it brought the relationship to a point where both people changed, and that change would not have been possible without the relationship.            

Film: Mother and Son by Russian filmmaker. Visually seductive. I would have liked to have seen more image manipulation rather than long static scenes of them in existential discourse. Not much of a score, which gave me lots of ideas of how I do it. Film was in a small theater at the Music Box, replete with lumpy seats and poor sight lines. It’s so funny to watch people before the show playing musical chairs to audio, while looking at the back of someone’s head.

Reduced to lyrics:

Balck 

Went to see a movie
Visually seductive
Long static scenes
In the music box

Too hard to see
Too hard to know
What I want to see
At the movie show

Waiting for the film
The black and the red
Looking at the back
Of someone's head

John Lennon said
Whatever the change
We'll play all the chords
The song's not the same

Mise en abyme
A show in a show
Since it can'r be seen
We'll never know

Someone in town was giving away boxes of piano rolls. While I decide what to do with them, they can be still photography subjects:

Currently tracking up the first song idea for 2024, Coulda Woulda Shoulda, a riff on Kurt Schwitters and Brian Eno’s Kurt’s Rejoinder.
