"Do you make any music or art?"
Kevin Greenspon - Waypoint
Bridgetown #58
Releases from Bridgetown Records come in the mail with hand-written letters from the label's founder, Los Angeles native Kevin Greenspon. "Do you make any music or art?" he asks me. (I sheepishly tell him no.) He sends along one of his cassette releases, Waypoint. It consists of ambient music that suggests twinkling stars and pulsing nebula and Carl Sagan narrations. Each song checks in at just over four minutes, which is particularly refreshing because I don't always fancy long-form ambient pieces that lean on the idea that extensive song length is necessary to transport you to a wonderful place. I mean, it only takes the shuttle eight minutes to reach orbital velocity in outer space, right?
