“the great thing about music is that it has all these fractal consequences. you know, it may start as something and mean something to you, but then it works its way into other people’s lives and takes on a whole new life, and it’s like it’s theirs now,” clark says. “so playing these shows on the one hand is obviously about me, because i’m the performer and the lights are focused onstage, but it’s really about the audience. It’s about them bringing their meaning of the songs back and me just trying to give them another dimension to the music.”
