living is hard. to everyone. and acknowledging it is already a source of suffering and anxiety for most of us. first snow is the best snow was performed in this context. it is a one shot live performance recorded while I was visiting the Dolomite Mountains, in the nord of Italy. I went there with Ju and Pedro to join Clarice, Felipe and their children, friends we know for more than 20 years. those kind of people that are more family than friends to us. by the Carezza lake I went for a walk with Pedro and Felipe and we found the perfect spot for the performance. I was prepared, of course. the unexpected first snow of winter of the day before had inspired me to play, and that bench by the frozen lake, with 20cm of snow from last night, was perfect. I cleaned up the bench and sat there just to turn on my portable speakers, my computer and start to play threnoscope. using a code I had studied days before, I was there for around 21 minutes. until my hands couldn’t hold it anymore. Pedro and Felipe were gone already and I finished the path by myself. it were magical days. those used to heal.
