Ted Hearne's magnum opus.

For The Crossing, two guitars, two keyboards, two drummers.

Six years in the making. 

Born of an idea to make a piece for a field on a farm.

Now captured in perpetuity 

Indescribable.

Just listen...

...to the whole thing...

As we journey through the words of William Penn, then Jeff Bezos, H2a Visa promos, and finally UberEats pandemic ads. 

A dialogue across centuries and cultures.

Leading to this, today.
