Among Horses

One week. Two musicians. Sixty Spanish horses. Three very mellow guard dogs. A farm in the middle of nowhere powered by solar energy only. A room full of old microphones.
Oh, and did we mention the horses?

 

“Among Horses” is a collaborative writing and recording project. We put two musicians who barely know each other on a farm and give them seven days. Seven days to get to know each other, write an EP together, record it and maybe look after the old horses while they’re at it.
