I may die today.
Finding out that I don’t have to wear a tuxedo for Les Noces was the best news of the week.
Listening to this for the first time since we recorded it last May. So exciting.
Song of Myself, 44.
It is time to explain myself—let us stand up.
What is known I strip away,
I launch all men and women forward with me into the Unknown.The clock indicates the moment—but what does eternity indicate?
We have thus far exhausted trillions of winters and summers,
There are trillions ahead, and trillions ahead of them.Births have brought us richness and variety,
And other births will bring us richness and variety.I do not call one greater and one smaller,
That which fills its period and place is equal to any.

So, so, so excited for this release on June 5.
This was my first involvement with a recording for commercial release, and it was an awesome piece. I’m so proud of the work we did.
