As corny and emo as it sounds, I love the night. While there are great practical arguments such as decreased traffic, cooler temperatures, and better entertainment options those haven’t really mattered that much to me or my preferences. Those things are great, however the visceral horrors of the night and contrasts between day and night it presents have always held my attention.
To me, A good night is equal parts sultry and malevolent. It’s a fluid timeline played out on a dark, blank canvas we use to paint a picture that is full of endless possibility and looming, brooding menace–all at once. While specifics are legion and details readily changeable, a good night involves plentiful feelings and images of sexy and dangerous all at once.
A good night calls you out of your home with promises of bright lights, new faces, untold adventures, and exotic places. That same good night also makes subtle threats to you: Alien landscapes, mischief and its’ makers, bright lights that end in a blanket of darkness, deserted urban landscapes, strange characters with unclear intents, and stifling, smothering quiet punctuated by noises big and small.
Speaking of noise, take a listen to this bit of wonderfully saucy jazz noir and this entire album of dark jazz, featuring some background noise from the Berlin (Germany) city morgue!
