The Sun rises on the second day of April and there is optimism at The Crossing. Is it possible we're missing the morning check-ins that kept us connected, Rising w/ The Crossing, last March through September?
Yes.
So, with the horizon full of projects and ideas – the Month of Moderns 2021, a new film, another album just a week away, live (distanced) performances and new ventures – we're ready to get back to writing more regularly.
We think of it as "emerging into Summer." We like that word, "emerging."
Today, the release of a single, from our new album, A Native Hill,
due out on Navona Records April 9.
The Music of Streams
VI. from A Native Hill
by Gavin Bryars
The music of the streams is the music of the shaping of the earth,
by which the rocks are pushed and shifted downwards
toward the level of the sea.
This is just one of twelve movements of Gavins' magnum opus; the sonic bath, and introspective journey – the book of wisdom that is his musical translation of Wendell Berry's inspiring, bucolic words.
Tomorrow the flow may increase or slacken, and the tone will shift.
In an hour or a week that rock may give way,
and the composition will advance by another note.
The ear must imagine an impossible patience
in order to grasp even the unimagineableness of such music.
We've been resting for a few weeks. We're waking up.
You could say, we're Rising.
