layover in joburg, south africa (Patreon)

just landed 

jetlagged

spent the plane journey reading and thinking and wondering and keeping a baby calm

neil just found out, a few minutes ago, that one of his hero-friends died (ursula le guin)

hugging 

friends die 

baby sleeps beside us

neil writes emails 

i listen to mixes of the cranberries recordings from new orleans, and they both sound beautiful. sent notes about reverb and levels to jherek. i think the section after the second verse needs something subharmonic. the rumbling of tanks 

drank wine

ate curry

took bath

got inspired and texted with jherek about doing a 24-hour-marathon of covering songs by women 

flying to cape town tomorrow 

falling asleep next to an abandoned muppet
