14 Horse Bells (Tintinnabulation) music video

Dear World,

I hope everyone is staying healthy and taking care of yourselves and one another.

I’m pleased to share the music video for the Tintinnabulation bell iteration of 14 Horse Bells, my upcoming release on September 4 and the second in Editions Verde’s continuing series Seeing the Forest in a Tree. Please enjoy! And here is the first stanza from The Bells (1850) by Edgar Allen Poe where the genesis of the word “tintinnabulation” is found:

        Hear the sledges with the bells—
                 Silver bells!
What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
        How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
           In the icy air of night!
        While the stars that oversprinkle
        All the heavens, seem to twinkle
           With a crystalline delight;
         Keeping time, time, time,
         In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the tintinabulation that so musically wells
       From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
               Bells, bells, bells—
  From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.

For now,

Jordan

Welcome

Dear World,

Welcome to the new Editions Verde site! It’s been 5 years since I started this label and it’s been a blast sharing the music and art of myself and others. There are some exciting projects in the works including a few new releases in our series Seeing the Forest in a Tree.

All of the previous releases are in the Catalog (which also functions as the shop) as well as my new release called 14 Horse Bells (CD/digital) which has a release date of September 4.

Thank you for visiting and take care of yourself and one another!

For now,

Jordan
