Musical moment

"I had sent Danielle some new poems, and she liked one in particular that’s called “The Top of the World.” It’s inspired by a place in Vermont at the top of a hill that is littered with an assortment of odd things that people have left there. It has an abandoned feel to it. I think she said it sounded a little like a country song. We tried a few improv. sessions. I read the poem and she played her guitar, and there was a moment where we hit it just right – as if we’d planned it. It felt kind of magic. Improvisation is like that, and I hope we can really collaborate in the future." Marjory Wentworth -Poet Laureate of South Carolina http://www.marjorywentworth.net/wp/

"True white space for an artist or writer is always difficult to find, and when it is found, it has to be done so deliberately. The deliberate nature of leaving homes, routines, distractions and heading to The Swamp reminded me that the creative process must be valued and given space in order for it to effectively happen. Creativity was fostered in the sense that it was valued, cultivated, and required…beautiful space and beautiful souls that all rallied around the idea of pushing each other to be the best creators we could collectively be during our time together. It was a cold weekend, and that combined with the remoteness of the location made its imprint on the song we finished during the weekend. It sounds a bit dark, cold, and full of space. I really believe that piece of art is a perfect snapshot of the weekend we spent together. I was changed in the sense that it rekindled in me the belief that getting away in order to create is not a luxury, it really is a requirement." Warren Bazemore of Finnegan Bell

This is the bedroom on the second floor. It can sleep 4 or more if we need it to. The stairs on the left lead up to a tiny place where only one brave look-out human can sleep. Three people could sit in there and sing if they wanted to.

The kitchen is on the far side of the living room. If you head towards the window in the middle of this photo, there are bedrooms left and right. - Do you see the stairs next to the island there? They are steep if you are strong.

This is the living room in the Swamp House. It can comfortably sleep 7 humans. There are also two bedrooms behind the kitchen. They can sleep 4 people, if beds are shared, and 2-3 if beds are not shared.

Master songwriter Phillip Lamonds lends insights to swamp artists.

Swamp Artists make video! :)

Making music and a documentary in the Swamp House is easy. It is awesome if you like these things and good foods.

A time for butterflies.

Hanging at the Swamp, with artists writing songs!

Phillip Lamonds is observed in his natural habitat, recording a song in the Francis Marion National forest for Swamp Sessions Sustainable Music Project. No musicians nor other wild life were harmed in the making of this art.
