This poem was written when I realized I needed the art of my pal @buddywakefield. It’s dedicated to my bud David Rosser. Special thanks to Jefe Greenheart+Circus Picnic for the live footage, Charles Visnic for the studio and field footage, and Cecilia Brawley for editing.

When I think of Richard Swift, I always remember thumbtacks. I asked him how he made his sound. He told me thumbtacks on the piano hammers. For days, I’d sleep in his studio. He’d wake… instagram.com/p/Bk0mZqxFla8/…
