Sharing at last this John Luther Adams Ten Thousand Birds video, which @paulmelnikow and I shot in the eerily quiet, early days of the pandemic w @AlarmWillSound. It’s about yearning for nature and far-away friends. Made at home in Bkln with a lot of love.

I wrote about Julius Eastman, Cecily Brown, & ambivalence as a discipline we should cultivate. Also, & relatedly: I really liked Everything Everywhere All at Once. I think it’s great if you didn’t. garthgreenwell.substack.com/…
