The Memory of Water
“To put your hands in a river is to feel the chords that bind the earth together” ~ Barry Lopez
On this, the anniversary of David’s passing, I am immersed in memories of our times together, listening for what might be the chords that bind the earth together.
It was while recording River Notes with Barry that David and I truly began what would become a shared journey of musical exploration.
While deeply listening for the voice of water, we became water itself seeking musical expression.
I am still exhilarated by the moments of boundless flow we experienced together. Some of those recorded moments became the album 8 String Religion. Other moments were recorded in River Notes, which is available for free on our website.
The magic of becoming present in the moment while holding a timeless awareness includes the threads of not just generations past and future but everything that vibrates.
David was gifted at bringing other awarenesses into play through his music.
With our latest release, we launched into David’s Other Worlds, which includes the Voyager video featuring Jiebing Chen and Ty Burhoe. I have included a review of it here.
Wishing for all of us the love and inspiration needed to maintain community,
Mickey
