Overstimulus is not a plume.
Could it really be important enough to discuss what makes music important? Yes and no. Other people who are genuinely interested in music will definitely join me on this one. “Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.” Thanks to debatably, either Elvis Costello, or Frank Zappa for that gem. Or both. We aren’t really […]
Meaning.
I don’t know exactly what it all means, or what might happen next, but… I definitely like it. That has generally been the assessment, or ethic, of all Day For Night work produced, usually at the moment of completion. Occasionally, I make attempts to re-contextualise my finished results. So, too often, the work is finished, […]
Catalogue de rigueur.
The imprint catalogue for Day For Night, much in the tradition the Factory Records cataloguing system, is more of a curator’s definition of an artists’ catalogue… Rather, it is not of objects to buy, but rather of events and situations, (Day 001, Day 002, etc. all the way to Day 100) all placed within a […]

Promoting multimedia while emphasizing a lightly-branded, personalized design style, Day For Night CD releases to date include works in contemporary music and new media released on CD, CD-R and the web. In nearly-equal parts, the Day […]

It pays to be reliable. It also really pays to be flexible. It is the promise of joint partnership, such as an invitation to participate in an affair, even in an observational capacity. Like the look of a young woman, whose parents are driving her mad. It is a massive hormonal buildup. Everything about her […]
Light, blind.
There is much additional creative that takes the form of lightness in dark — licht und blindheit — light and blindness? We expose the means and methods perhaps, but in so doing, we are to remain simple and unaffected. Perhaps it was Greenaway’s intention to do the same, using the text of the script as […]
Day For Night vs. Eric Scott
I was at a multimedia conference in San Francisco, and became momentarily obsessed with typing this when I should have been listening to the speakers. Truth is, I was listening — it was to Hillman Curtis, who inspired me so much that I went into “processing” mode — which is where I free-associate, and instead […]
Laundry.
For me, Day For Night has never been about any political or social issues, because these really don’t, on the whole, interest me. Want a list of things that interest me? Here: inspiration people loneliness noise order chaos values (like-mindedness) And the list goes on, but none of these are hot issues. So the only […]
