#4707, The Collaborative Harp of Mary Lattimore
Hear harpist Mary Lattimore in numerous collaborations ranging from rock, jazz, spoken word, traditional folk and electronic music all held together by Lattimore’s instrument, usually played amplified and sometimes processed. There’s music made with the sounds of the endangered Indiana bat; a jazz-ish piece with the artist Moor Mother, traditional British folk song with guitarist Meg Baird, and music and poetry from Indiana-based poet Ross Gay’s album called Dilate Your Heart. Listen to Gay's beautiful and heartfelt poem “Burial” about planting fruit trees with cremains, as supported by Lattimore's harp.
Then, from the producer and musician Field Works (aka Stuart Hyatt), listen to a collaboration using Indiana bat sounds and multiple layers of harp. Also, hear the blended acoustic and electronic sounds of guitarist Meg Baird and Mary Lattimore from their recent record Ghost Forest, along with music made with multi-instrumentalist Jeff Ziegler and an array of effects pedals. Plus, listen to music from a collaboration, Refuge, with Devendra Banhart & Noah Georgeson, recorded remotely during the pandemic. And more. - Caryn Havlik
