“[He] read Cat’s Cradle and had a crucial realization, what he called the ‘Accident’ - when you invent a new technology, you also invent the accident of that technology. When you invent the car, you also invent the car accident. When you invent the plane, you also invent the plane crash. When you invent nuclear fission, you also invent the nuclear meltdown.
I’m not a genius like [him] or Kurt Vonnegut or my father. But I have a theory too: The Accident doesn’t just apply to technology, it also applies to people. Every person you meet introduces the accident of that person to you. What can go right and what can go wrong. There is no intimacy without consequence.
I remember, as a kid, when I first understood that only half of every tree is visible, that the roots in the soil are equal to the branches in the sky, that a whole other half is underground. It took me a lot longer, well into adulthood, to realize that people are like that too.” - All Our Wrong Todays by Elan Mastai

Great mix! Hope to hear you live sometime! I'm hoping to start an Ecstatic Dance sometime this winter in Vashon Island WA so holler if you ever come through the Seattle area!
hey, thanks so much for listening and taking the time to comment. i'd love to come out to washington and play sometime. feel free to hit me up on insta (katiedidmusic). and you're always welcome to come dance in dallas!
Dallas would be fun! have family and friends out there. I'll definitely hit you up on insta when I get things off the ground here. Would also mostly likely be able to help with other dances here in Washington and Oregon.
heck yeah, that's awesome! looking forward to it.
THX for your (he)art-work - gets me on the edge
thanks for listening! making mixes is my very favorite thing in the world, so it really warms my heart when people enjoy my sets. much love!
Great set! Just discovered you...if you're ever in Todos Santos, Baja California Sur, would love to have you DJ for us. <3
that would be amazing! i'd love to come DJ for you. do you hold a dance there?
Yes, I facilitate the Sunday Ecstatic Dance Temple. It's the low season right now, so it's pretty small, but will pick up when people start returning in Oct/Nov.
so cool! definitely feel free to reach out on my instagram @katiedidmusic - maybe we can work a trip out in the fall!
I like your introductions / notes to your sets very much - especially this one. There is no light without darkness.
thank you! i really like playing with the theme of duality in my work. it always feels so relevant.
