Train Dreams (2025)

Directed by Clint Bentley

Bryce Dessner / Alejandro G. Iñárritu: Mateo's Freedom (Bardo Soundtrack ).

Dentro de la banda sonora de Bardo, “Mateo’s Freedom” es una pieza de gran delicadeza emocional, compuesta por Bryce Dessner junto a Alejandro G. Iñárritu. Su música avanza con una calma introspectiva, como si acompañara un recuerdo que emerge lentamente, sin dramatismo excesivo, pero con una profunda carga afectiva.

We Live in Time

this is my twin brother and esteemed musical collaborator. one of us speaks the truth and the other tells only lies and no we don't know which one of us is which :)

It’s difficult to check facts, or to talk about fact checking, without coming off as a know-it-all, a fussbudget, or a snob. But knowing things is hard. Checking is a practice. It’s not omniscience. Two years ago, Amanda Petrusich wrote a piece on the band the National in which she described two of its members, Bryce and Aaron Dessner, as identical twins. The brothers look identical, but to be safe the checker checked with Bryce. Confirmed. Story went out. Complaint came in: Aaron said sorry, but they are not identical. Could the sentence be corrected to read “fraternal twins”? The checker convened the brothers in a group text:

Bryce: We were never tested but our mom thinks we are identical :) Aaron (seconds later): Our mom says we are fraternal but truth be told we have never been tested!
