Fiddle Tunes at Centrum

Banjo in the Cistern

For all of you banjo fiends....

Composer/Musician Marc Fendel just completed a Centrum Creative Residency using the Dan Harpole Cistern, and its 44 second reverb.

On our Creative Residency site, you can view a nifty video of Marc's musical partner Kevin Nortness playing the banjo inside the cistern. Enjoy.
