sounds and silences: SOMERSAULTS / JAMES KOCHALKA

Una de las canciones de "Somersaults" (Vueltas de campana), el disco que grabé con Muni Camón y que permanece inédito -supongo que saldrá después de mi nuevo disco que sale este otoño, "Safe and Sound"-, titulada We Are Hints (Somos Asomos), me lleva directamente a una viñeta de los diarios de James Kochalka. Como una tormenta tropical a respirar hondo.

One of the songs from "Somersaults", the album I recorded with Muni Camón that is unpublished yet -I presume it will be released after my new album that will be published this autumn,
"Safe and Sound"- called We Are Hints, gets me just to a frame from James Kochalka's diaries. Like tropical storm to breathe deeply.

...too many films
too many songs remain to the same
there's love
and she paints her fingernails at dawn
with a cigarrette in her right hand...

...demasiadas películas
demasiadas canciones recuerdan a lo mismo
hay amor
ella se pinta las unas al amanecer
con un cigarrillo en su mano derecha…
