Jon Conley’s Deadheading is a study in compression and slow observation, exhausting the potential of the quality we call Quiet. Truncated notation colludes with and is often overwhelmed by negative space, while the distance between extreme and subtle collapses to the point of confounding futility. Yet Conley’s eye is ever clear. Innate melody and rhythm give shape. A Sobin-esque heart is an ethical mooring. For a stake planted amid all earthly bouquets of bloom and decay.
