"y'know, 'cause what she wants you to get to is ultimately that place when you're born and you're just screaming. and there's no tension. it's all, again, going back to total freedom, letting the unconscious come through, letting the dreams come through."

"like, just being fully wholly completely in touch with the self, which we're never gonna get to until, if we're lucky, the last breath of our lives. and that's what keeps us in that divine dissatifaction place with our voice or otherwise with our craft."

this is wild to me. i've experienced exactly this shift from the other direction - unblocked some big tension, gained access to a part of my body i didn't have access to before, and found a *new resonance in my singing voice* that wasn't there before

idk what exactly andrew garfield was doing with this woman but sounds like there's a chance they were doing it from the other direction - looking for blocks by starting from what notes he couldn't sing. which is fascinating and i might try it. hmm

maybe we could try tracking down andrew garfield’s teacher and asking her 😅
i’d at least like to try messing around a bit haphazardly combining things, will probably need to deal with some performativity stuff around singing itself too, fun times
Replying to
yeah, absolutely. a lit to be achieved by messing around in that vicinity and finding out, in the absence of a teacher
