In and Out of the Game

about

In and Out of the Game began life in 2007 as part of the score for a collaboration with choreographer David Neumann called Feed Forward. In 2010, I made a video for the piece using footage I shot on 14 October 2009. The piece is dedicated to Paul, whom I met in Cape Girardeau on 15 October 2009.

lyrics

Apart from the pulling and hauling stands what I am,
Stands amused, complacent, compassionating, idle, unitary,
Looks down, is erect, bends an arm on an impalpable certain rest,
Looks with its sidecurved head curious what will come next,
Both in and out of the game, and watching and wondering at it.

Backward I see in my own days where I sweated through fog with linguists and contenders,
I have no mockings or arguments . . . . I witness and wait.

Walt Whitman
