I want to write songs that feel infinite. I want to write songs that transcend their production, that can weather the changes. It’s probably a holdover from my jazz training, the desire to hear my material in different contexts. A standard sounds different passed through time and hands. This band — Ryan, Mari and Trevor — can do anything. Between them their practices span jazz, metal, country, ambient music, minimalism, and hyperpop, at least. Why not literally stretch them, and my songs, out? I want to feel when a slowed-down song becomes ambient music, becomes jazz, becomes something else. Experimental music; an experiment. Hopefully not chopped, but definitely a little screwed. 

Subjecting these two songs, songs that are explicitly about memory, to a compositional process explicitly about length, lets me perceive the time in each song differently. In these versions, the form is maintained but sections elide, become solos, become worlds. Returning to the chorus feels different after fifteen minutes than it does after a minute and a half. Maybe it’s a Cagean imposition, making a pop song stay interesting after 20 minutes. I can justify it however, forever. I just want to hear the band play on.
