Mantra at Lowe's Hardware Store: NPR Music Field Recordings with tags mantra, percussion, wood, music, npr music, lowe's

There's something primeval about guys banging on wood. But the New York percussion group Mantra takes such primitive pounding to a surprisingly refined level. For composer Michael Gordon's mesmerizing new work — Timber, written for six two-by-fours — Mantra set up a public performance of the piece in the lumber department of a big-box hardware store in Alexandria, Va. Who knew 60 inches of processed pine could sound so good?

Producers: Mito Habe-Evans, Dena Trugman, Tom Huizenga
