Us

I’ve thought of a few ways to approach the ‘us’ section
I’ve discarded all of them for a nice gentle ramble approach.
This isn’t always the best way of operating in this universe.
Bear with me.

I like to imagine the music that jen and I make with other musicians as a way of coming to terms with the gap between feeling and thinking. Or maybe I think it is the gap. But I don’t mean the place you shop only if you have to and the jeans never fit you right anyway.

When I met jen she had blond hair and a porkpie hat.

She was deeply involved in her geography and family history of being raised in Elizabeth PA with Welsh blood. She still has an avid and extreme interest in her physical environment and how time changes it. This curiosity and her gravity in the physical world is what makes things like this website get finished and our songs get mixed.

When Jen met me I was pretty much looking to blank the slate of my first 18 years and re-invent myself. Ah, New York City. It does let you do that when it’s not too busy throwing curves at you. Directly to your head. Hard.

I’ve often tried to explain to her that after you’ve done a certain amount of time with a person the word ‘like’ becomes the wrong word. They are a part of your personal landscape, and exist always as such. And luckily I still like jen, but now I respect her a fuckload more. She is way part of my landscape and my landscape defines how I go about things.
What I do a lot in this project is react, analyze and then react some more. Then I cut stuff out and go to the post office.

As for aspiring to be conscious. I’m too busy dipping into my false consciousness. It’s a whiskey kind of problem.

We’ve hung on to the friendship and our music making practice has grown for all of our different interests and outlooks. The radon projects you see before you is the culmination of much hard work, argumentations and learning what not to say when ‘someone’ is trying to figure out why the computer stopped doing the thing it was supposed to be doing.
