A two-sided painting. Both sides, a mandala.

One side, lucidia.

The other side, alex

Ephemeral Composition - another mandala. Pieces do not fit together, rather the shape of each piece hinder the creation of the composition.

Another angle. A drawing - an abstraction from the initial image (a photograph). Cut up, re-composed in a random, coincidential way.

A breath.

A cough.

A sneeze.

Woooooooosh!

It's gone.

Goodbye! Goodbye!

We shall see you again, (?), together with your neighboring pieces. If the puzzle ever gets solved.

When she opens the package - the package just two pieces of neglected cardboard taped together, this is what she'll see.

This is what she'll listen to on the CD:

Songs from New York, where I met you at 470 Broome St, SoHo, Manhattan NY - January, 2006. Over a year I thought and wished to give you these songs. Songs that make me remember you and our very short time in New York:

  1. I Found A Reason - The Velvet Underground

    A link from night to day. Sunrise. Waking up. Holding. Finding focus. Meaning. That's what this New York trip was all about.

  2. Look At That Old Grizzly Bear - Mark Mothersbaugh - From The Royal Tenenbaums Soundtrack

    An introduction. To set the mood. Just today, I talked to you on the phone, I told you I just saw this movie - you told me everytime you see the movie, it reminds you of me.

  3. Horses - Patti Smith.

    If this song doesn't kick your ass, you'll survive the rest. An amazing song. An amazing woman.

  4. Once in a Lifetime - The Talking Heads

    Time isn't holding us

    Time isn't after us

  5. I Can Only Give You Everything - Richard Hell and the Voidoids

    That's you talking to me, not me talking to you.

    I am thankful. I am thankful.

  6. Stock Exchange - Miss Kittin & The Hacke

    What keeps this great, horrible machination going.

  7. Song Against Sex - Neutral Milk Hotel

    Against sex? Well, I guess if sex is what we're leaning against...

    Off the Avery Island record - Avery Island is not Manhattan Island - it's located near New Orleans, not New York City. The song seems new everytime I listen to it, though. And sex. Everyone likes talking about sex.

  8. 53rd and 3rd - The Ramones

    Remember I told you about this song? I do, but I have no idea of what I told you, exactly about.

  9. I Love Living in the City - Fear

    To complement the cover on your first Mix - the same song, played fast (as the complement on the zzz (Night) mix was played slow and loungy.

  10. Port Authority Band - Slim Cessna's Auto Club

    Slim Cessna calls Denver one of its homes. The Port Authority is where I say goodbye to you. Blame it on the Port Authority.

  11. Sunday In New York - Bobby Darin

    While saying goodbye to you, my Sister left this song - the ENTIRE song, on a phone message

  12. New York City's Like A Graveyard - The Moldy Peaches

    Without you, even NYC seems a little desolate.

  13. Graveyard - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

    So much so, it's worth repeating the theme, twice

  14. Ladyfingers - The Fever

    Not to fret all night, let's dance!

  15. Bull in the Heather - Sonic Youth

    When I think of New York, I think of Sonic Youth. And that's what I thought of. Walking around, looking for Thurson Moore.

  16. What You Got - John Lennon

    Wandering around Central Park, looking for Strawberry Fields.

    You don't know what you got,

    Until you lose it

  17. All Broadway Musicals Sound the Same - Lenny Bruce

    What's New York without Broadway? What's the recorded sound without Lenny Bruce?

  18. Jet Song - West Side Story

    Just to complement Lenny. And that I love broadway musicals. And it's true, they all sound the same. Maybe that's why I like them. It's familiarity.

  19. New York City Cops- The Strokes

    ... whom I didn't get a chance to talk to...

  20. The Brooklyn Bridge Blues (Chorus 10; Performed By Eric Andersen)

    To complement chorus's 1-9 on the first mix, read by Allen Ginsberg - remember what he said? So there's still the mystery to come... how does it end?. Here's the end (of the mix). Almost.

  21. Well Did You Evah! - Deborah Harry And Iggy Pop

    An incredible cheesy song, but complements the last song on ZZZ (night). While that one said, "I'll be seeing you again" - giving hope, this song just talks about a party. Perhaps when we'll see be with each other again and be able to waste time, at a boring party, exchanging rumors.

I know you'll read this before this all arrives in the post. Are you anxious? Are you nervous?
