Notes

I couldn’t really bring myself to listen to any music this week. Not particularly for any reason other than that I was on annual leave and that I chose to catch up on other forms of media besides music.

As the week progressed, a thought took root and that was around the idea that one of the entries for this year would include an empty list. What would it mean to publish a post without said playlist? But that would be somewhat accurate, because what did I actually listen to this week? There were some throwaway moments but nothing that really stood out. Other sounds took over, ones that weren’t music serving as a distraction, but the sound bridge that connects us to the world and to each other. Making sense of different rhythms and melodies, to an arrangement that has yet to reveal a meaning to me.

So there goes another year. And as the final entry to the 2024 edition, perhaps this could be a bookend to challenge against the self-imposed rules and structures, to perhaps be unafraid to listen to nothing if nothing is what you need.
