The loud red drive to Massimo's exhibition

March 2001

I offer to drive gallerists Peter and Mari over the river to giant art venue P.S.1; they invite Edward the restauranteur. We meet at his restaurant Clay on Mott street. Some guys on the street offer to buy my super cool small red cargo van.

Pleasant view filled drive over the East River with the subwoofer. Spectacular group show, great venue, nice party. Massimo the Italian had installed a pool in the ground with a wave-making device. It had a consistent wave sloshing back and forth. Quite beautiful. We were hanging around outside talking and I offered him some tobacco. He says “ah MS, these are good”. He remembered the evening at Forbidden City. I was glad to complete that circle.

Dancing Assistance

Jane,
I have seen how professional drummers use a ”click track” of the rhythm to play to. I was wondering if this technique could help with synchronized dance moves. I am sure it would.

For keeping track of the rhythm, a bass thump is pretty wide and there could be some indecision as to where the exact middle is, causing dancing people to loose accuracy. A click track that the audience would not notice would help the dancers’ accuracy, freeing mental processing for other tasks.

Sincerely
