An indian paintbrush is a beautiful yet resilient splash of life. Wanderings through the west and northwest areas of Wyoming and Montana brought chilly weather with clear blue skies. Even though some places in our walks were stony or were devoid of larger plants, the Indian Paintbrush would pop its head up in the most interesting of places - even when weather is harsh or conditions are less-than-favorable.
Indian Paintbrush was a piece of music I performed and recorded just after my return from a Wyoming/Montana trip. The little colorful and lively flowers made an indelible and lasting impression on me. I was in a wonderful place sitting and watching them sway in the breeze - almost in awe. They are an inspiration and a beautiful remind of what is right in the world.
Indian Paintbrush was recorded with an Ibanez Artwood AW40 acoustic, an Ibanez ExoticWood EW20 acoustic, and a Fender standard fretless electric bass. The acoustics were recorded with a Shure SM57 dyanmic microphone with no dedicated preamp, direct into my M-Audio MobilePre computer interface. The bass was recorded by direct-instrument-jack to the MobilePre.
