On a drowsy, gray February morning last year, I found myself driving across central Jersey in my Dad’s beat-up 2000 Toyota Avalon. With no music downloaded and no data on my phone, I found myself listening to the raindrops tapping on the windshield.

Spotify curates so many personalized playlists for its users that some music listeners may not feel they need to make their own playlists anymore. Between the “Lit Shower Mix” the algorithm made for me and the new “daylist” feature, it would be easy to think I need not curate my own mixes (my first personalized “daylist” was titled “yearning swamp tuesday afternoon,” stylized with lowercase letters to show cringeworthy Gen Z sensibilities).

Michaelangelo Antonioni’s “Red Desert” (1964, released in Italian as “Deserto Rosso”) opens with the image of a factory obscured. Obscured by the opening credits, the camera’s unfocused lens, but especially by the trails of smoke it ceaselessly spits out (oozing from every orifice it can find room for). Second to the image is the sound: an ethereal and floating voice that hangs over the world with the wit of a butterfly stopping to roost.
