instead of sing.”
At times, Pyle shifts from spoken word
to harmonica as Novoselic and Pretegard
continue playing.
“They let me be a musician in the group,
which meant a lot to me, to get to play a lit-
tle bit of actual music with these fi ne musi-
cians,” Pyle said.
The album was produced by Jack
Endino, who Novoselic has known since his
Nirvana days, as Endino worked with the
band. He’s also worked with groups includ-
ing Soundgarden and Mudhoney.
“Jack is a legend in music production in
Seattle,” Pyle said. “He’s the peak of the
profession.”
Musical roots
The album’s lyrics bring with them a
sense of urgency as Pyle talks about nature,
both local and afar. Inspiration for the lyr-
ics comes from Pyle and Novoselic’s expe-
riences, studies and observations.
“These songs grow out of a deep mutual
concern for the future of the place we all
share,” Pyle said. “The lyrics come right
out of the woods.”
While working on the record, the two often
talked about nature. Much of Pyle’s work has
focused on conservation and land stewardship.
His books also focus a great deal on nature.
“We have to think of ourselves as fun-
damentally a part of nature,” Pyle said. “A
very dangerous idea is the dualistic idea
of the separation of humans and nature…
Nature is not the other. We’re apart of it.”
Lyrics come from Pyle, with adapted
readings of Charles Darwin, John Stein-
beck, Ed Ricketts, Robinson Jeffers and
Freeman Dyson.
“I very much hope that listeners of the
album take away a sense of journey, voy-
age and exploration,” Pyle said. “Not only
to the ends of the earth with Darwin, Stein-
beck, and Ricketts but also into their own
backyards, meadows, pastures and parks.”
