about

(Posted Sept 5 2020)

I don't recall much about the creation of this track other than it is two 4-track experimental compositions - one superimposed over the other. I am drawn into the slow-moving waves of sound and how they randomly interact with each other and the introspective landscape they reveal.

This was put together the day I heard about the death of the troubled but genius Toronto jazz/avant-garde artist Justin Haynes. I was affected by his passing though we didn't know each other well. I admired his commitment to pushing artistic boundaries, though he sometimes didn't make friends doing so. I often wish I had more of his daring, if not confrontational approach to art.

I have felt connected to him in some mysterious way. He was someone I rarely encountered out and about. But one day as I was walking up Dovercourt toward Bloor street. I saw a man in the distance approaching and thought, "that's Jusin Haynes walking toward me". As we got closer and passed each other I discovered it wasn't him. I turned the corner to walk east along Bloor and Justin was right there walking past me. It really messed my head up that day.
