Just got back from a friend’s house where we watched Pedro the Lion perform to a small group of people in their living room. Great show, incredible house, irreversibly altered my standards for what a show can be. It’s such a wild and beautiful feeling to experience wonderful musicians perform feet away whilst relaxing on a friend’s comfortable couch.
I don’t have much more to say, because I sort of want this moment to linger. I couldn’t stop smiling. It’s such a gift to share moments like this with a small group of people who all really want to be there. To look around and witness everyone feeling what you’re feeling. A quiet contentment. The knowledge that it’s a special moment, in a special place.
One last thing though: I want to collaborate more, on more things with more folks. Most of my making is pretty solo, and I’m craving that feeling where you’re just vibing with someone on a shared thing, uncertain where your contribution ends and theirs begins. There’s an awkwardness to it, until there isn’t (or maybe that’s just me… I’m pretty awkward).
