day seven, a chorus of solitude (nathaniel...
Chicago December 21, Mon 11:22 pm
Day Seven. We’ve finally neared the end of our session, and we’ve not ceased to learn new things each day. I love being in this cocoon of a place, learning, working, and frankly, being lazy, all at the same time it seems. With all things considered and with all humility intact, I feel that I’ve become a better session player and am...

Cat's Dream by Pablo Neruda
How neatly a cat sleeps,
Sleeps with its paws and its posture,
Sleeps with its wicked claws,
And with its unfeeling blood,

Chicago December 15, Tues 11:29pm
After a long, sleepless, but surprisingly enjoyable straight-shot drive from Denver to Chicago, Joseph and I found ourselves parked in front of Engine Recording Studio in Wicker Park at 5:15am. Unable to reach our existing cohorts in the living quarters of the recording studio, we decide that we have no choice but to take a nap in the van until we hear from Nate...
