Bedtime Story Conservatory 50 16/05/2020

Hellllo everybody,

I hope everyone is well today. The weather, at least in Helsinki, is slightly under the weather, and so the grey buildings opposite my window are even greyer than usual. I hope that despite this greyness, there is some respite for you, some clarity of some sort, maybe in the way you cook your dinner, or the way you tap your fingers to a silent beat, or the warmth of some source of light, like a lamp-

My lamp is approx 30cm from my right hand as I type this.

Today's reading is one of my own I did this morning. I woke up at 3pm, which made me feel kind of delirious, and I wacked Spotify on and this was the song that played when I came out of the shower and entered my room. The recording is me speaking over the top of the song, to the beat of the song, out of beat to the song. It's a spontaneous dialogue, flowing in and out of feeling limited to words in expressing my emotions, observations of my room, and general thoughts as I listen to the song and dance around the room with the microphone in my hand.

I just listened to this whilst editing it, but not the whole thing. So in the interest of being honest, warm and close in this digitised reaching out through email, I send this to you. It is, as much as it can be, unmediated, and I feel like I want to share this experience I had with you, because it felt raw and I was what felt like being overwhelmed with emotion.

The song is appropriately called Daydream 1969 by Wallace Collection.
