[live with coffee and wine in an apartment] is...well, live

after all that rain, wine, coffee, and page-sifting through my musical past and present, it's finally ready for any willing ears: [live with coffee and wine in an apartment] / much of the session is accompanied with video, which i'll slowly post onto the dkotamusic website (hence the screen capture below)

there's more i could say on the matter, including my surprise in how emotionally taxing it was to (re)engage in some of this material, but i will distill to say that it was incredibly rewarding, introspective, outrospective (yes, i just invented that word), and just plane and simple fun // my intent was to perform an intimate, unrehearsed, and raw private concert for the listener -- of course, with wine and coffee (not necessarily in that order, or in one setting, but with both somehow) / but i simply hope you enjoy the "concert" and relate in a way that takes part in your conversation / music is not a one-way vector - it's a busy intersection of ideas, emotions, opinions, experiences, desires ... (the list could ellipses off the page) / perhaps above all, art is about the the collision of conversation / and so, simply put, i hope you and i collide

at any rate, i've got this swarm buzzing in my mind that confronts the concepts of utopia, quixotism, and perfection-imperfection / it's about to spill onto this blog, but for now i'll resit, step away, and relax knowing that the weirdly intimate concert i've just made public is...well, no longer private // i hope you enjoy_
