A Native Hill
A New Watercolor Animation
Now Playing on Youtube
This Friday, April 9
Gavin Bryars' A Native Hill
the album. 

First, a single.
Now, a short film.
With animation by Will Kim
(based on the album art and dog by Steven Bradshaw.)

In Wendell Berry's world, a leaf falls, 
and the interconnectedness of all things
becomes momentarily clear.

It is acceptable to me,
and I am at peace. 

In Gavin's music, that world expands,
and we find ourselves looking up. 

When I move to go,
it is as though I rise up out of the world.

A Native Hill is a gift to The Crossing from the composer. 
with special thanks to Tony Creamer and an anonymous donor. 

The Crossing
