CHOICES

trust is sacred...once violated, it is destroyed....it is an incredibly painful and lasting transaction on every scale where it occurs. The resonance of its impact can translate into many forms - some of them incredibly detrimental. The only way to repair the damage done is to acknowledge your mistake, take true ownership of your actions, and demonstrate - through your actions, not through words - dedication and respect for the individual(s) you have crossed. we all make mistakes, how you handle them is the measure of your character...I have known many great and many weak characters - I am reminded of this with immense clarity this week, and hope it will guide me in a continued effort to be mindful of how I treat people. We have the capacity to be good to each other, and to honor each other...it is a choice....

REGROUND - UNDERGROUND

There has been so much awesome - so much crazy - so much awful - so much "I can't fucking believe this is really happening" over the last couple of months, and in concentrated form over the last couple of weeks, that I have fallen a bit behind on my journaling here....I'm getting back to it, in the midst of finding my balance in the launch of a whole bunch of other things and a continued effort to deepen my practice - physically, emotionally, sonically, spiritually...stay tuned for many impending posts...

More videos from this excursion to come, but here is a short 2 minutes I took to open up my voice in the Cistern at Centrum. I was recording clarinet & bass clarinet in a variety of spaces for Wayne Horvitz over 5 days at Fort Worden, but I had to take a quick moment to see what that room felt like pumped full of crystal beth...

....45 second reverb, people...45 seconds....
