Most of the time, when I’m not listening to music, there’s something playing in my head. Sometimes it’s a piece I’m thinking about that I’ve heard somewhere, sometime. Sometimes I only remember a snippet, and take that snatch of cloth and spin it out into an endless variation. Sometimes it’s just the smallest wisp of an idea, and the music in my head is analogous to watching a leaf turn in a gentle breeze. Gentle exploration.

These last things are the seeds of the music that eventually makes its way to paper or tape. You Are An sprung quickly from one of those seeds, and I present it fresh from the mind, ever-so-gently edited. Chava’s four year old daughter says it makes her “think of a loving person.”
