about

Running time: 36:41

The day had finally come. Matthew and I met at my place in Queens, NY to play some music together after speaking about doing so for months. This would be the first time we had ever played together. We took our time setting up, hit record and then barely said a word to each other for the next 36 minutes. We didn't warm up or speak about what we were going to do beforehand.

We feel the crux of this project centers around a conversation we had right before playing about anxiety. This performance is trying to find a through-line of connection to ourselves and others despite the isolating noise in our brains. Ultimately, each movement is about finding those moments of serenity and catharsis.
