I thought I was going to make a piece inspired by Patti Smiths ‘Because the Night’ but Patti (and Bruce Springsteen who wrote the song) were wrong. The night does not belong to lovers. It belongs to our deepest fears; the fears we cannot give voice to during the day but that creep up on us at the cusp between wakefulness and sleep.
