today's track is made up entirely of samples of my own voice, played back on a synth and then dubbed onto tape and re-recorded

every few weeks this newsletter will be for premium subscribers only and today’s installment is one of those!

premium mbb readers got a surprisingly crunchy weekly track, thoughts on how to shape your kitchen with your laughter, and a very special live recording from when I played a baby grand piano in a stately manor in Amsterdam last month ~

these subscriptions help me a lot and keep this project going - i would greatly appreciate your support if you like our thursdays together ~

today's track features the now-gorgeously out-of-tune piano that lives in my girlfriend's sculpture studio - I didn't like playing it for a time but now it has, how do you say, character

today's track features the grand piano next to a coffee bar I've been playing every day since I arrived in Denmark (which I've unceremoniously lost access to on my last day in town, but that's another story).

today's track features an improvisation recorded in Denmark and audio captured on the lightly-sinking boat I wrote about last week (you can hear the phrase "some water got in" uttered aloud near the beginning, haha).

since I last wrote I've been to Germany and Amsterdam and back, where I saw a flaming branch dropped into fog and danced in an empty pool until late into the night and played a secret grand piano for a select audience late in the evening - living at the pace I nearly used to, internalizing that its still possible.

writing to you, incredibly, from Aarhus, a tidy, briny, beautiful place.

today's track is even gentler than usual. i remebered all of a sudden that space and emptiness are possible.

My Big Breakthe less of it

good morning ~

Right off the bat I have to tell you: I was recently very directly exposed to COVID and I have to drop off the shows I was set to play in NYC this weekend. I was extremely looking forward to performing again, but it's way too much of a risk for me to come down there.

The Whatever's Clever showcase at the Broadway is still happening, though, and I urge you to go (vax'd and mask'd). Saturday's show is postponed until....further notice?
