Notes
I think I made a conscious effort to move away from the listening habits of previous weeks.
I threw abandon to the winds of Spotify’s Daily Mixes, and found myself back in the currents of contemporary jazz, shoegaze, and broken beat.
In doing so, there is a part of my disposition that feels like it has come full circle, and other parts that feel like I have only scratched the tip of the iceberg. An example of these would be that I have more of an appreciation for Thundercat’s music. While previously I found it self-indulgent, or derivative of the fusion that had come before, now I find exploratory and innovative to combine influences that go beyond music, but culture and aesthetic as a whole.
I think this week also helped re-frame why I embarked on this listening journey for the year, which was to go beyond what I think I knew, and just celebrate music as a constant journey and evolution, whether it comes from the past, present, or future.
