A Darker Color

Every street in Paris is layered in songs. Every street in Paris is layered in ghosts.

Interlude: the keystrokes of transitory—the movement in the rest—the inhale before the storm.

From the Editor: The Cadenza Issue

Jazz in blue & grey, in light & cloud. Jazz like circadian rhythm, like cityscape dreaming, like still before the train comes.

The Cadenza Letters (a selection)

I love jazz the way I love empty riverbeds and I love my girl's morning breath and I love the street after it's just rained.

V: Cadenza | Searchlight Song: "Stop Time"

Wait. Miles Davis is on. That’s half the picture right there. His muted trumpet braids silver around my veins.

I think the meaning of this piece and all of our music depends when and where and by whom it is being listened.

I’ve learned from music to feel something in your gut. Then you know what’s what.

The story is the same always: one of you leaves first & you both know who it’s going to be.

The work you sent us this reading period was saxophone & city skyline, was blue-lit & dancing, was storm-filled & warm.

The music jumps, cuts, flourishes in a way I don’t attempt to map out, recognizing the particular logic of feel.
