January Notebook

For me–€“when it comes to music–“January and February are characterized by sifting through a heap of end-of-year lists while doing my very best to keep up with new releases as they come. It's chaotic and my notebooks reflect this. The most exciting thing about it for me is just how much amazing music from the previous year I forgot about or just flat out missed. The truth is, each years music is so vast and rich that it can't be adequately described by any one or even ten peoples lists. The burst binding on my January Notebook is a testament to this fact. Happy listening and I hope you are able to pocket more than a few gems.

A Nice Pairing of Portraits

Mirror of Zen /// A Day in the Moment of a Modern Zen Monk from Christine Schmitthenner on Vimeo.

Filmmaker Christine Schmitthenner's beatiful, contemplative portrait of zen monk Hyon Gak Sunim.

Notes on Blindness from The New York Times - Video on Vimeo.

A dramatized portrait of writer and theologian John Hull. The short film is based on a series of sound diaries Mr. Hull recorded on the process of going blind. His description of rain is just stunning. Peter Middleton and James Spinney, Filmmakers. Read more about the project on the New York Times site. Really great stuff.

A Year In Music

it's mid-way through January and I think I basically have 2013 sorted, musically anyway. I say that with some reservation since, without a doubt, I'll still be discovering great music from this past year in the years to come. There's really too much to keep up with–even if you were at it full-time you couldn't have a complete grip. That said, I do my best. 

What I present here are four separate lists made up of some of the music that really hit me over the course of the year. I've pretty much stuck to the format I established last year: each list lays out a sequence of music for a time of day. This lays out a nice framework and makes it easier to bring form to it all. These things are never chronological or ordered good to best–the order each song is arranged in is carefully considered to create a smooth overarching narrative and I hope that comes through.  

I added a fourth 'Latenightside' this year since I wanted to have a separate sequence for the scene when four-on-the-floor becomes lay-on-the-floor (a time of early morning I don't see too much these days but have a fond affection for.) Here's hoping you see those sweet hours.

It really has been a incredible year for music and if you don't feel that already I hope this collection of 120-some-odd songs manages to convince you. Enjoy!
