Description:
Vinyl LP pressing. 2018 release. Forest Bathing, or Shinrin-yoku, is a term that means "taking in the forest atmosphere." It was developed in Japan during the 1980s and has become a cornerstone of preventive health care and healing in Japanese medicine. "Taking in the forest atmosphere" became the inspiration for A Hawk and a Hacksaw's album. Their forest bath of choice is the Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico. This album features ten original compositions by Heather Trost and Jeremy Barnes. The opening track "Alexandria" features Barnes on the Persian Santur, an ancient hammer struck dulcimer, and Trost's string and woodwind melodies. The composition evokes the long trader's route between what is now Bulgaria and the wealthy cities of Istanbul and Alexandria. The band has always had a bird's eye view of this part the world-looking for the connections between places and even eras: a belief in the power of music to reach across borders and unite. The band is based on the idea of collecting music and inspiration through travel. They are not of a place, but their music evokes places along a route. This is not urban music. It's rural: songs of the woods and roads where there are no sidewalks or street lamps to light your way. While the bulk of the music heard on this record is played by Barnes and Trost, they do have some incredible guest performances, namely the clarinet virtouso Cüneyt Sepetçi, from Istanbul, Hungarian cimbalom master Unger Balász, and closer to home, Chicago trumpeter Sam Johnson, Deerhoof's John Dieterich and Noah Martinez, of the band Lone Piñon., Runningtime: 00:00:00, Accordion, Dulcimer [Persina Santur], Organ, Mellotron, Autoharp, Davul, Frame Drum [Tapan & Riq], Recorded By, Design: Jeremy Barnes, Artwork [Insert Artwork By]: Caio Lira Da Conceição, Design, Photography By: Louis Schalk, Lacquer Cut By: Adam Gonsalves, Mastered By: James Blackwood (6), Violin, Viola, Autoharp, Mellotron, Design: Heather Trost, Written-By: Heather Trost, Written-By: Jeremy Barnes, Clarinet: Cüneyt Sepetçi, Tenor Saxophone: Chris Ogden (2), Cimbalom: Balázs Unger, Double Bass: Noah Martinez, Guitar: John Dieterich, Cimbalom: Balázs Unger, Double Bass: Noah Martinez, Clarinet: Cüneyt Sepetçi, Clarinet: Cüneyt Sepetçi, Labelcode LMDP19.1 (LM19), Phonographic Copyright (p) A Hawk And A Hacksaw, Copyright (c) A Hawk And A Hacksaw, Licensed To LM Dupli-Cation, Recorded At Sonido Del Norte, Lacquer Cut At Telegraph Mastering, Pressed By Cascade Record Pressing
