Taking shape

Sunsets are barely sunsets anymore.





The assignement is (hopefully) taking shape. I shall meet tomorrow the person behind this astonishing voice (and, hopefully, subsequently interview her) at the pizza evening organized by the student board of the College. Sápmi is a small world.

Are You Shivering

This is what the sky looked like past 1 AM, two days ago:



And tonight's surreal full moon:



I am sometimes wondering whether I will always come back to the same songs in such circumstances, whether it is merely clinging to their and my past, or if in there ever resonates a distant echo of truth. Are you still shivering? Are you still cold?

And as always, the Red Queen answers...

Sunsets

...and the clouds cleared up to reveal a sunset sky bright like no other, as it the day had broken in the middle of the night.




I shall not abuse of sunsets in the next posts.

The only subject I managed to fix my mind on today were readings about joik. A few finds, refreshing yet driving me straight back to where I started; that may be a good sign. (Find here a collaboration-remix between RinneRadio, who works with most famous joik singer Wimme, and Mika Vainio of the Finnish minimal masters Pan Sonic.)
There are other connections here and there that I am happy to find. More to follow.
And I cannot decide if Crowleymass Unveiled was a stroke of genius or quite the opposite.

Dusk

The night gets hardly dark here -- already. During the day, the Sun is merciless, shining equally bright from dawn to dusk.

A wider view of the sunset from my bedroom's window:


Going now to sleep with Torgeir Vassvik's Sáivu:
