We were finishing up the pieces - sitting at an old wooden dining table in the kitchen, handbooks to the side, bugspray, papers, a plate or two - and hoping to record that evening, by the river. Cicadas, birds, bugs, young wild rice, little fish, slow water, dusk.
　　This was the second time we have written duo pieces for each other, though playing tons together in the meantime. It is in these moments of writing pieces where thinking about the idea of a duo, and each other, and writing for each other, concentrates, fills with questions and spills into whatever is happening in our lives (or the other way around). We were reading, at the time, a Joanna Russ novel (Noah) and Simone Weil's writings (Luke), each of which inspired, in part, the pieces - or helped us think about certain questions. Our last set of pieces together was titled "Aperture." It seemed, a decision arrived at separately, that this set of pieces would have to do with the opposite - something closed, blocked, stymied, stalled, torn. An instance of the aperture eclipsed, the opening a closing. How does the duo, the conflicting ideas of its oneness and twoness, relate to... this? What is the relation between aperture and its opposite, between one and the other, this and that, now and not-now? Weil says "when we have learned to hear the silence, this is what we grasp more distinctly." Russ says "closed to me forever closed to me."
　　We, fittingly, did not end up recording that evening. Luke dropped his ebow in the lake, the bugs were relentless, and we ended up being called back to the cabin—Another time! Noah brought out a chessboard and, dog curled up beside, we had a drink and played chess.
