Notes

There isn’t much I intend to write today apart from feeling rather unsettled this past week. Nothing happened to me directly, but perhaps it was something that changed in the power relationships within this world.

The week started with this video essay, A Movie I Couldn’t Stop Thinking About by Bushido Blues about the 1999 film, Gohatto by director Nagisa Ōshima. This then set me on a path to listen to the original soundtrack composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto which I ultimately found haunting, pensive, and yes, unsettling.

I didn’t listen to much else after that as there was a lot of work to concentrate through, but a piece by Irene and Vojtech Havlovi stood out to me in my passive listening moments. I would like to explore more about their music in the future.
