There are a lot of similarities between creating an album of music, versus writing a book of stories. S: How did creating a book and writing a book-differ personally from writing and creating music? Or was it a similar evolutionary process?īM.
It took me several more years to complete the book, including more experiences around the world in order to have enough stories to write a book, but I would say that it all started with the Shipibo in the Upper Peruvian Amazon. My 3 trips to the Amazon really opened my mind to the connection between music as a spiritual vehicle and its connection to the natural environment. That was a magical experience and it really made me want to write a book about these kinds of musical systems that are so different from what we think of as “music” in the Western, capitalist world. I appreciate that the whole experience was personally satisfying, enriching and rewarding but what for you was the one point that will live long in your memory.more than the others.īARRETT MARTIN: I think you mean what was my most memorable experience from the book? I would say it was with the Shipibo in the Peruvian Amazon, back in 2004. SPILL: Currently enjoying the book that you have written. Hi Barrett thanks for agreeing to do this-apologies that we couldn’t do it personally. THE SINGING EARTH A Q&A CONVERSATION WITH BARRETT MARTIN
