Summary: Every producer at Sounds True has their dream projects. For Mitchell Clute, one such recording was Just Being Here: Rumi and Human Friendship. "Even before I worked at Sounds True, I loved Coleman Barks' translations and his deep-voiced, big-hearted delivery of Rumi's ecstatic poetry." When paired with the spacious music of virtuoso cellist David Darling, Coleman's readings of Rumi's poetry unfolded in new and extraordinary ways. "In truth," says Mitchell, "I could choose any track from this program as an example of how beautifully Coleman and David's partnership works. But this one, called 'Raggedness,' sticks with me as one of my favorites."
