We have a pump organ in our living room. This music is incredibly affirming for me because it sounds very much like music I first started playing when I started playing again AND I started on the pump organ (which at least one of the musicians at the start of the music is playing on).
I've had to really staunchly stand up for myself and my music to other musicians and to my past notions of music, and have definitely gotten defensive around playing music like this.
No more. I'll just send people to this. And I'm definitely going to focus on playing more like this again.
There were about 250 people in the audience that night, which I thought was amazing for a program of experimental music involving pump organs, a banjo, and a Korean mouth-blown reed instrument.

Thanks again for bringing this into our lives! <3
