Birds, Rolls, and Waterfalls

The first episode of The Sound of Machines Podcast starts with something simple: curiosity about the people who follow along with my work.I hosted an online Show & Tell to meet the folks who build, hack, record, and experiment in their own spaces, and the conversation immediately took on a life of its own.What unfolded was a wide mix of ideas and projects, from tape loops and shortwave radio signals to reproducing pianos, early computer music, and even turning windows into contact-style sensors to track bird strikes.It’s an easygoing introduction to the kind of community this show is built around and a look at how people shape sound in ways that are personal, practical, and sometimes surprising.For a full list of links and samples from this episode, go to www.patreon.com/thesoundofmachines
