arun in brooklyn

he’s a mirrored image of myself…indian, tall and lean with dark hair…we talk about guitars and amps and sigur ros…and he understands my desire/dream to own a fender rhodes…at the end of the evening, we revisit that moment in college where you have to choose whether music is a hobby or a lifestyle…our decisions were divergent…and as we describe the outcomes to each other, we both enjoy peering into a “what might have been” type of kaleidoscope…i can’t speak for him, but i’m more than satisfied with the way things are unfolding…

spent the day in the studio working on some new music with ron…he bought a baritone ukelele and i picked up a melodica from main drag music today…we’re working on a little side-project that features all acoustic instruments, a loop pedal, and a bunch of varied effects…we have a handful of ideas down so far …a delightful mesh of ambient sounds that are really quiet and very pretty…(we love city breathing…but it’s nice to get away from computers and distortion and general loudness now and again)…if we keep hacking away at this, we just might have an album together before the end of the summer…keep your fingers crossed…

the timelessness of summer is a wonder that we all give up too fast…i feel like the wealthiest person alive right now…lots of time = lots of thinking…been having some really honest talks with my mom lately…all left hands and accidents…feels like relief…
