Speck has the gift for making music which is both completely accessible and remarkably experimental. I hoped, when I got him for this assignment, to do something accessible and a trifle experimental. After all, he as some great samples and great songs. But instead what came out is something minimal, a tad emotive, and simple, a bit of nostalgia for which there is no simple decoder ring.

Today I saw an Osprey, a raptor, a beautiful bird of prey, flying overhead. It tilted this way and that way, all in mid-air. When I tried to get a good look in my camera, it floated away. It was there, I saw it, it enchanted, it moved on. I smiled. This is how inspiration works.
