I had the honor of directing and editing a short film for William Tyler’s new album, Behold The Spirit. David Malitz from The Washington Post describes the disc as “a gorgeous, meditative album of ambient acoustic music that combines the classic fingerpicking tradition of John Fahey with the more experimental sounds of Sun City Girls.”
The film was shot over two days in and around Nashville, January 2011. William felt that the album had a “winter feel” to it, so when the snow fell we got to work. I give him much respect for braving the hours of bone-chilling cold without complaint. The fireside guitar performance was filmed live in his backyard.
