That’s where I got this dangling cloth. I wasn’t able to concentrate on my breathing while I was there, but now, many years later, I bow to India from my perch in Echo Park. The relics aren’t important; they’re just signs.

Performed by The Interbeings – a virtual band consisting of Joe Lamattina on drums, Michael (henceforth Mikhail) Pessah on bass, and me on guitars and vocals. Don’t forget Lisa Lamattina, who did over-the-counter percussion and videography of Joe.

The visual style of this cover video is informed by Thich Nhat Hanh’s teaching that all things contain all other things. So I am you and we are both that lamp. Please enjoy while breathing in and breathing out.

I shot my sections and those featuring Mikhail, and I edited it all together. Mikhail mastered the mixed audio.

This time, I brought my point-n-shoot and walked home through Echo Park.

Fun with composites. That girl had that guy in a headlock.
