And other musings on Cangiante, Sfumato, and Unione
Our heavy metal Swede has left, but not before taking a fantastic trip from Orland to Gary then on to the Chicago. First was a visit to Michael Jackson’s family home in Gary then on to more music and trying his hand at some expensive guitars at Chicago Music Exchange and then on to find new treasures at Reckless Records. Turns out we have some music we both like, thanks for cueing up Buckethead.

I stand still or move slowly, feeling things like the impulse of shapes, the direction of lines, the quality of surfaces. I frame with my eye (sometimes with my hands) as the ground glass would frame. Nothing that one could reasonably call thinking is taking place at this stage. The condition is total absorption; the decision (a picture!) is spontaneous. – Aaron Siskind, 1955
