In the small town of Rosedale lives loner David Moore, a Mississippi Delta artist and musician who creates beautiful hybrid instruments inspired by indigenous cultures. I followed him around for a week as he tended to his garden, played music, took his dog for a walk in the graveyard where he found him, made instruments, and went on adventures on the Mississippi River.

David Moore, an artist and musician from Rosedale Mississippi, fans himself in his kitchen. Moore creates music from hybrid instruments that he builds himself from found objects.

Moore's kitchen is decorated with tomatoes from his garden where he grows a lot of his food during the summer.


David rows his boat out to a sandbar in the middle of the river. At these sandbars, he finds relics of our past that he incorporates into his instruments.

David Michael Moore takes an afternoon break to hydrate and enjoy a glass of water inside his kitchen.
