and opening up your ideology to me. It was a very unusual audition,
one that endowed me with a lot of excitement for the creation of art.
I appreciate this immensely. However, after leaving the meeting,
I realized that speaking another person's words is not at all
appropriate for me right now. Auditioning as a vocalist for you was my
first real pursuit of its kind, and after truly considering this
orientation, I realized that your songs cannot say precisely what I
need and want to say--but rather perfectly expose your uncompromising
beliefs. These speak very clearly to you, but in fact conflict deeply
with many of my beliefs, especially about capitalism, love, women,
burning man, brian eno, the future, shakespeare, electronic music, and
aesthetics--things that I do not believe will create the ideal
collaboration you're envisioning, based on clashed fundamental
principles. Meeting you has therefore imbued an indelible attachment
to my own burgeoning work--this birth intrinsically occupying full
prioritization in my mind. This also clashes with your unconditional
requirements, an ultimatum to devote myself to your work--something
obtuse to require of a perfect stranger. And while I am flattered that
you appear to find me personally appealing, I left feeling as though
any potential for professionalism would be tainted by sexual overtures
that I do not reciprocate. It felt unprofessional to me Frank, and I regret
if my suggestive performance style translated as a suggestive
invitation. It was not intended. I wish you luck with your future work
and in refining your art, which has a very important place in San
Francisco and for modern class consciousness. Thank you for taking the
time to interview me, and for your generous offer.
Sincerely,
Brittany Berg
