lingering nights

In Chantal Akerman’s Toute une nuit (1982), pairs of people meet, make love, break up, dance, drink, eat, talk on the phone, and sleep during a hot summer night in Brussels.

Music selection by Cali
Just like Toute une nuit by Akerman, the music selection I made, challenged by Laura Martins, is grouped in pairs, not of strangers, as in the film, but of songs (two per artist). The choices were intuitive and I tried to include a little bit of what I like, from classical music—which is an integral part of my career as a cellist, having started in 2001—to electronic music, experimental pop, jazz fusion, among other genres.

lingering nights are not nights of transition, but rather nights of suspension.
on the first night, the suspension of the unavoidable, the inescapable, not taking responsibility, not following, not preparing, not repairing, not contextualizing, not trembling, not involving, not connecting, not acting, not knowing, not looking, not wanting, not caring.
on the second night, breathe, find, make space, make time, give yourself time, give yourself to others, wait, listen, remain, continue, desire, feel, do, maintain, dispel.

excerpt from O encontro é uma ferida (The Encounter is a Wound) by João Fiadeiro and Fernanda Eugénio

The encounter is a wound. A wound that, in a manner as delicate as it is brutal, broadens the possible and the thinkable, signaling other worlds and other ways of living together, while at the same time subtracting the past and the future with its disruptive emergence. The encounter is only truly an encounter when its accidental appearance is perceived as an offering, accepted and reciprocated.
From this reciprocal implication emerges a medium, a minimal environment whose duration will gradually take shape, marking and inscribing itself as a common landscape. The encounter, then, only takes place—only finishes emerging and begins to happen—if it is repaired and consecutively counteracted—that is, assisted, handled, cared for, (re)made each time in-terminable.
Many accidents that could become encounters fail to fulfill their potential because, when they emerge, they are so hastily deciphered, annexed to what we already know and to the answers we already have, that our existence continues unshaken in its infinite kinetics: we do not notice them as unrest, as an opportunity to reformulate questions, as an occasion to reestablish ways of operating.
