In 2022, my percussion ensemble (with Luke Wachter and Jack Arman) approached Nathan Hall to collaborate on a recording project at The TANK Center for Sonic Arts. At the time, we consulted with archeologist Marilyn Martorano to use prehistoric lithophones found in the San Luis Valley. (A lithophone is a stone sculpted to hold pitch.) Fast forward, that music is out today! Our album, "Gentle Worship" -- a title offered to us by an audience member at our performance at The TANK -- is available on streaming and vinyl platforms.
Composed by @thisisnathanhall and @helcopcop .
