about

Night Light. Only three elements -- perhaps two actors and a chorus? (Every person will likely hear it differently.) The story only makes sense to them; I brought them together, but they decided how it would all unfold. The piece is quiet, which is what you'll need for listening.

The three elements are derived from three pieces by Walter Marchetti (who died in 2015) -- “Le Secche Del Delirio”, "Perpetuum Mobile", and "La Caccia". You'd be hard-pressed to hear any direct reference to the pieces in this track, but they determine everything that goes on in their particular thread of the whole. They're kind of like skeletons that I hang a new skin on.

In the dead-empty street I sense signals
from a place I've never been
to a place I'll never be.
Unspool the film.
