September 26, 2021: Ideas in the Sky

Prairie Public

In the summer of 2020, composer and musician Patrick Mathews-Halmrast approached us with an idea: As a summer internship, he would work on musical ideas that were based in our "sense of place." He'd heard us while helping with the harvest on the family farm near Georgetown, and thought we could work together. The summer culminated with Patrick taking a flight across North Dakota in a private plane (courtesy of UND professor Fred Remer). Patrick was composing, playing, and recording all the way. The result is "Ideas in the Sky."
