Don't think of Hannah Bingman's music in terms of genre, in terms of folk. Think instead of the test pilot trading steel for aluminum, metal bolts for plastic, swivel seats for bean bag chairs -- everything unnecessary pared back or discarded in the name of flight.
Since she first peered from behind a too-big acoustic guitar, Bingman has taught herself to strip away everything other than the soul-baring, leaving listeners with only this: Herself. It's a sound distilled and clarified like mountain melt running down a stream, but at no times is it precious or pretentious.
Even at its most gut-checking, her music is affected with a kind of effortlessness. Don't be fooled by this. Bingman has worked for every inch of altitude in the sky she's come to call her own. In that sky, the one she colors with the blues of isolation and bright greens and purples of self discovery, earthy understanding -- not loftiness -- is king. Her music, her voice, sparkle without adornment, her songs project a wisdom miles beyond her 24 years.
And if you see her rising up against the horizon, know it's not the jet fuel of rock star dreams she's burning. Hers is the rare helium mix of talent and awareness.
Every time that we listen & write music... play an instrument... dance... act in a play... or work in some audio/image/video engineering process... something is healing inside...
When we share it with friends... something is healing all over...
cada vez que escuchamos o escribimos musica... tocamos un instrumento... bailamos... o trabajamos en procesos de ingenieria de audio/imagen/video.... algo se sana por dentro...
Cuando lo compartimos con otros... algo se sana en todas partes...
El Amor puede conducir... de manera simple... todo...
Hannah you know I'm crazy about your stuff, right? Your voice is instantly classic. I'd love to record a song with you this summer! We should figure something out. :)
