// Station 1 // Postcard Claire, I met someone. She talks nonstop, and interrupts me all the time, just the way you do. I love it. We met on an overnight train to D.C. and immediately started chatting about why Camus thinks traveling reaches its fullest potential when we are acting from our fears. Nonsense, I think. So then she disagrees with me on everything, it’s such a thrill. I wish I could see the look on your face right now. // Station 2 // Origins + Itinerary This song comes from sharing a bubble with a new person. “Discovery after Dark” is the 3rd stop on _Travel Poems .

One quirk about this universe is that the beams send emotions between us, one million per minute per pair, clearly and effortlessly. Joy is instantly contagious. A hurtful thought toward another is understood with compassion, seen alongside the place of sadness where it arose. Every feeling triggers infinite empathy, therefore boundless acceptance. (The beams send only the stuff of our souls, not our thoughts — so we still have privacy, interesting conversation, and the ability to prank each other silly.) Now imagine we already live in this universe except, long ago, we somehow forgot where the beams disappeared off to. But we’ve always kept music with us, because it’s our best way to speak in the old way. + Taiwan-born & reared on-the-go between Taipei and the American Southwest, Eric Pan (a.k.a. pandelic) found his musical footing via a jazz mentorship with Ray Brown at the University of California. These studies propelled him onto stages with Jeff Hamilton and Roy Hargrove, plus over a decade’s tenure as New York City pianist & composer. Pan’s compositions and improvisations reveal a relentless pursuit of simplicity, craft, and universality. Hear him interviewed on-air next to Orson Welles on national radio with PRI’s “The World”, read his exclusive premiere interview in JAZZIZ Magazine, and stream/download his latest long-form interview on the _For a Living_ podcast. 1) https://www.pri.org/stories/2020-08-31/travel-takes-new-meaning-jazz-pianist-s-latest-album 2) https://www.jazziz.com/qa-eric-pan-travel-poems/ 3) https://foraliving.transistor.fm/episodes/eric-pan-speaks-in-the-old-way // All rights reserved.
