In three lines

  • NONOL LIVE has the full-length version of soopie's live session.
  • The four songs are 'lost in the park', 'pistachio', 'mustang on the sofa' and 'murmur'.
  • All four titles are in lowercase English.

Four titles written in lowercase

Every title is lowercase. Not a single capital.

Order Song
1 lost in the park
2 pistachio
3 mustang on the sofa
4 murmur

Lowercase is a device that sets the volume of a voice in advance. A title in capitals and a title in lowercase are read at different loudness.

The content matches. Getting lost in a park, a pistachio, a mustang on the sofa, a murmur. None of it is material you would shout.

The third one has a particularly odd image. A mustang is a horse or a car, and it's on the sofa. Something large placed in a small spot.

Ending on 'murmur'

It's a session that ends in muttering.

A murmur is a sound you can't make out — speech whose content doesn't carry. Put that word at the end of a set and the close goes blurry.

An ending that doesn't land cleanly has its advantages. It leaves an afterglow. A last chord that resolves neatly often stays with you less than one that fades out.

The first song is about getting lost in a park, so the opening isn't sharp either. It begins lost and ends muttering.

Small sounds heard up close

NONOL LIVE keeps the stage and the audience close. For music sung quietly, that distance matters especially.

In a large room, singing softly doesn't reach the back, so the volume has to come up past a point. Up close there's no need for that. Something sung small is allowed to sound small.

The near-absence of editing works here too. The intake of breath, fingers shifting along a string — all of it stays. In quiet music, those aren't background; they're content.

Today, like this

Try this session in a quiet stretch of time. With noise around, this kind of music half disappears.

Keep the volume lower than usual. Play a softly sung song loudly and its original size is gone. Small sounds belong heard small.

Nothing much happens across the four songs. That's the character of the session. Rather than waiting for something to occur, let the state of nothing happening stand as it is.

A new song has arrived at the playground today.
