Flight #1001

ROUND TRIPS BTN [OUR LIVES] + [THOSE OF OUR FORBEARS]

Flight #1001 are songs that alternate back and forth btn our lifetimes and those of 100 yrs ago. I think an attentive listener can pick out the traits that link one song to the next. It might be a vocal style, a rhythm, or just a general mood, or theme. Sensitive listeners, I hope, might also feel the sensation of an embodied, familial bond btn generations that these links represent. It's a reunion playlist for the human family spanning 100 yrs in the West.

[Music as therapy] got weird in 2020. It became abt the space btn songs . space as large as lifetimes . All that space became a way to process the feelings of being caught in the current of History.
.
There was a strange solace to be had in creating playlists that juxtaposed songs [from our era] with [those of our forbears], to center the relationship btn them, and us.
.
These playlists were attempts to transcend the time horizon, so I called them ‘flights.’ It was my effort to invoke a feeling of kinship btn us moderns and those who crossed over long ago. Those ones who built the streets we walk on, the grid we plug into.
.
Thanks, 2020, for helping me feel time different, and history, and music, and space.
