if it is to greet the dawn

YouTube player

Here’s this week’s video from the field recordings of mind in morning project with poet Hank Lazer. This poem feels like the heart of the book to me. And the two-finger, thumb lead, fretless banjo improvisation slides along right beside it.

Here’s this week’s video from the field recordings of mind in morning project with poet Hank Lazer. I love the sitar-like resonances on the fretless banjo in this tuning.

some said sorrow

This week’s video from the field recordings of mind in morning project with poet Hank Lazer. I love the mellow tone of the fretless banjo with nylon strings: “the singing of earthworms”
