A 1st taste of the Buffalo Blood project. We drove way out in the desert of Abiquiu, New Mexico hauling a mobile recording rig to capture these songs in remote outdoor locations and use the beautiful natural sounds of places like Echo Canyon & La Plaza Blanca.
This song tells the story of forced assimilation within the American Indian Boarding schools and one child who secretly carried his father's feather as a way to remember his past while being made to abandon his language and culture.
the video was made from timelapse footage Jim DeMain and I took throughout the recording process.
Carry The Feather is the first release from Buffalo Blood, an international film/music project by award winning Neighborhoods Apart Productions (makers of The Orphan Brigade: Soundtrack to a Ghost Story). Recorded and filmed on location at Abiquiu, New Mexico, at The Ghost Ranch, The Echo Canyon and Plaza Blanco, with musicians Joshua Britt, Neilson Hubbard, Dean Owens, Audrey Spillman.
