Bob, Glad to read you thought your comment - it is great when we find havens where natural sounds still rule and we tried to emulate that relaxing aural and visual sensation that nature can produce in this project. I hope that one day the US will adopt quiet area programs akin to our dark sky progra...

The original video that was sent to me was much longer, and I am not sure why the person who shot it edited down so much. I think this video diminishe...

Andrews Experimental Forest in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon, founded in 1948, is the most studied forest in the world. Sponsored ...

Hi Bob, things have been well and keeping busy with music projects. I am heading to Litchfield, CT today with audio equipment, so maybe something will come to fruition. Hi Lucas, This is an amazing video journal and also very inspiring. The youtube version cuts out at 3:29, but the full video is on ...

I came across this in BBC Magazine this morning- an inspirational short on a blind nature sound artist living in Brazil

Recently I have been experimenting with the collage of tree objects to generate interesting and natural shape parameters for the creation of musical structures. Here are some photo examples of pages from a musical score that I am currently working on: CameraAwesomePhoto-1.jpg page 6.jpg page 6.jpg
