  • Look the lion in the mouth

    Thank you Scott for your beautiful work. Following your work for years now. Inspiring how you ‘look the lion in te mouth’ in your fieldwork on location. How you take the listener along in your determined quest to find out ‘ how it really is’. Performed in a poetic way accompanied by a beautiful soundscape. Don’t give up but do take care of yourself. Thanks again and all the best from Amsterdam.

  • Thank you

    Have loved Scott carriers work for years and grateful old stories are getting reposted. The visual of the pizza slice upside down on the floor has stuck with me since the first time I heard it. Descriptions of Scott’s travels and observations in Prisoner of Zion has also reverberated in my minds eye for years. Thank you for sharing your stories 🕊
