Sticks in Water :: 2010

Almost every morning I wake up with a snippet of music in my head. Sometimes it’s a song I’ve heard before and sometimes it’s one I’ve never heard. This usually plays out when I’m in the shower. Once in awhile it isn’t a song I am hearing at all but rather, a phrase. One day it was a just a repeating string of words — sticks in wa-ter, sticks in wa-ter, sticks in wa-ter. Over and over again I heard it. So I started to repeat it out loud until it became a chant — STICKS IN WA-TER, STICKS IN WA-TER, STICKS IN WA-TER!! That chant spawned images in my head of these branches and twigs, partially submerged. I clarified the soft forms of thought into these 5 pieces. Please enjoy without moderation.
