The Pine Walk Collection

there was this new york times story on a couple buying a fire island house and discovering 200 tapes of dj sets between 1979 and 1999, and a sound engineer has been digitizing them and more are still uploading. it’s a lovely time portal and does more to set a mood for me than any ambient pop usually can, plus it tickles my crown chakra or whatever to feel some sort of connection to generations past.

Environmental studies

Only one album out rn (The Moviegoer), yes this is my husband’s music project! I play on it too now and more coming soon :))) if you’re in LA (or anywhere) keep an eye out on our insta— we’re playing more and more shows and some shows in NY and hopefully Manchester on the map too!! “Introducing a revisionist exotica for these times…aquatic synths & drum machines, slide guitars & santoors, stray trumpets and accordion...ethno-industrial, dub, and samples from a fifty-year old suitcase of cassettes... The major catalyst was a suitcase of twenty cassettes my father unearthed from his teenage years in Iran, recorded between 1972-1975, taping DJ monologues off the radio, lines of movie dialogue off the TV, radio plays, spoken word translations of European pop... That made it a kind of excavation of a bygone time, a travelogue to a place accessed only through cultural artifact & collective memory. An imaginary soundtrack to a half-remembered movie from a faraway place.”

considering how life reveals itself like video game maps

I often think about how in some games, the map starts out as mostly unknowable blank space, but as you putter around, it slowly reveals itself. Sometimes, this serves as a direct visual parallel in life, like how a previously daunting new city could turn into a familiar place where you know every little neighborhood and side street. In the interpersonal realm, strangers become acquaintances, friends, and partners. Even the insurmountable emotions of youth eventually become familiar territory that you can more easily navigate as you get older. It's hard to recognize the unveiling of these proverbial maps in the moment because it happens over the course of years, but regardless of what happens in a given day, you've grown and you've learned - you've explored more of the map. It's a bit lofty, but it helps get me through difficult moments. Maybe it could work for you too.
