• 1 2014-12-10T12:37:35-08:00 Texture of the Bridge 3 Light and sound on the Millenium Bridge in 2002 plain 2014-12-10T12:43:45-08:00 This is one of those sensory moments that still stands clear in my memory, even though this may be the first time I'm going back and looking at its record. There was something about the light and the air; the air especially, it just seemed clearer and different than air I was used to. And I remember just feeling happy and heightened on the bridge, in the middle of the Thames. 
  I didn't remember Seb making this sound by exploring the texture of the bridge with a plastic container; until I saw it just now, watching the video I uploaded to YouTube and to Archive.org. I'm watching it in the YouTube player because I can skip around easier and I can control the playback speed. And now I'm making this note so that I can flag the moment in the footage. So I can ask myself what it means.
  I came across it after stumbling on an even more important moment, one that could setup the whole project; this conversation about writing things down and how that practice relates to memory and experience; Seb sharing his own thoughts about written notes, sense memory, mediation. I don't remember that conversation at all, but there we are, in 2002, 12 years ago, talking about the same things I'm trying to get at now. And there, on the same tape, is an experience like the one Seb describes writing about when he was back in Chico, experiencing the wysteria arbor and the bees; the moment on the bridge, one of those moments I remember, and that I recorded.
