Finding space
Space plays an important role in music, as in thought. And yet… the spaces I am interested in, which excite and inspire me, feel harder to find, more difficult to explore. Chasers are chasing, platforms are monopolizing, social media is warping and distorting… What to do? Where to go? Shed’s call to take ‘solo action’ is one that has always appealed to me, so if I want space, then best make it. That is what this substack is an attempt to do, to carve out space for sharing music that I think deserves attention, offering some thoughts, and presenting what I am working on. I don’t know how often there will be posts, there is no grand plan, just a desire to start and see where it goes. To begin with, I am thinking of shorter posts, highlighting certain releases, artists or ideas. Closer to annotations in a scrapbook than a newsletter or blog. Ambient, space, and bass, with a touch of commentary. Something like that.
