#4707, The Collaborative Harp of Mary Lattimore

Episode Summary

Hear harpist Mary Lattimore in numerous collaborations ranging from rock, jazz, spoken word, traditional folk and electronic music all held together by Lattimore’s instrument, usually played amplified and sometimes processed. There’s music made with the sounds of the endangered Indiana bat; a jazz-ish piece with the artist Moor Mother, traditional British folk song with guitarist Meg Baird, and music and poetry from Indiana-based poet Ross Gay’s album called Dilate Your Heart. Listen to Gay's beautiful and heartfelt poem “Burial” about planting fruit trees with cremains, as supported by Lattimore's harp. Then, from the producer and musician Field Works (aka Stuart Hyatt), listen to a collaboration using Indiana bat sounds and multiple layers of harp. Also, hear the blended acoustic and electronic sounds of guitarist Meg Baird and Mary Lattimore from their recent record Ghost Forest, along with music made with multi-instrumentalist Jeff Ziegler and an array of effects pedals. Plus, listen to music from a collaboration, Refuge, with Devendra Banhart & Noah Georgeson, recorded remotely during the pandemic. And more. - Caryn Havlik Program #4707, The Collaborative Harp of Mary Lattimore (First aired 1/24/23) ARTIST: Mary Lattimore, William TylerWORK: Electric Appalachia, excerpt [:46]RECORDING: Live at Big Ears 2022SOURCE: This performance not commercially avaialble. INFO: Some info here: https://bfplny.com/event/electric-appalachia ARTIST: Mary Lattimore, Neil Halstead (Slowdive)WORK: Silver Ladders [3:46]RECORDING: Silver LaddersSOURCE: Ghostly InternationalINFO: marylattimoreharpist.bandcamp.com ARTIST: Mary Lattimore, Paul SukeenaWORK: Garage Wine [8:59]RECORDING: West KensingtonSOURCE: Three Lobed RecordingsINFO: threelobed.bandcamp.com/album/west-kensington ARTIST: Ross Gay/Mary Lattimore       WORK: Burial [4:49]RECORDING: Dilate Your HeartSOURCE: JagjaguwarINFO: https://rossgay.ffm.to/dilate-your-heart ARTIST: Moor Mother feat Black Quantum Futurism  / Mary Lattimore  WORK: Umzanzi [2:41]RECORDING: Jazz CodesSOURCE: Anti/EpitaphINFO: https://moormother.ffm.to/jazzcodes ARTIST: Field Works ft Mary LattimoreWORK: Silver Secrets [5:17]RECORDING: UltrasonicSOURCE: Temporary Residence Ltd.INFO: fieldworks.bandcamp.com/album/ultrasonic ARTIST: Meg Baird and Mary LattimoreWORK: Fair Annie (trad) [8:18]RECORDING: Ghost ForestsSOURCE: TLR-125 - Three Lobed RecordingsINFO: threelobed.com | threelobed.bandcamp.com ARTIST: Devendra Banhart & Noah Georgeson, with Mary LattimoreWORK: In a Cistern [4:21]RECORDING: RefugeSOURCE: Dead OceansINFO: https://refuge.deadoc.co/in-a-cistern ARTIST: Mary Lattimore & Jeff ZeiglerWORK: The White Balloon [3:21]RECORDING: Slant of LightSOURCE: Thrill 374INFO: thrilljockey.com ARTIST: Mary LattimoreWORK: The Quiet at Night [1:09]RECORDING: At the DamSOURCE: GhostlyINFO: ghostly.com
