Marginalia: notes in the margins

Marginalia: notes in the margins.

Friends, family, and supporters: I hope that we're all staying healthy, staying sane, and staying indoors. I'm reaching out to share some new music with you.



You can listen on Bandcamp, or wherever you like to listen to music (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, etc.)

Cover artwork: Yarrow on Like Water for Chocolate. By Carmen Malis King.

Actually, this music is quite old, but my choice to share it with the world is new. Over the last few weeks, I've been occupying myself by reviewing old recordings that I've made over the years. I discovered these solo recordings from 2016, and I immediately recognized something in them. Something that feels like a part of myself that I rarely let other people see.

These recordings are marginalia -- notes in the margins. They have a feeling of privacy to them, written on the margins of my musical practice. They are annotations to myself; footnotes in the shadows of a developing aesthetic. These recordings feel to me like night; like shadows; like dreams of imagined histories; like benevolent ghosts. I'm sharing them with you to shed light on some small part of myself that mostly lives in the dark.

I hope you enjoy them, and I hope you're staying safe.

Sincerely,

-Michael
