Oaxaca June 2025
I forget exactly when this was, but it was most likely the very end of June or very beginning of July 2025. I just remembered it since it was warm, of course, and I just came in from shoveling snow outside my apartment in South Philly and I'm currently listening to the sleet hit my window. My...

3/16/2025 Walkabout in White Cliffs
I recorded this way back in March when I flew out to Australia to visit a friend in Orange. I didn't realize how far Orange was from Sydney, so I ended up spending most of my time at an airbnb in Sydney, but then taking two trains and a bus over the course of 8 hours out to where by buddy lived…

1/13/2025 Let's walk to Times Square (Neuhaus)
My job sent me up to NYC for a conference and happened to get me a hotel in Times Square, which meant I was just a few blocks from Max Neuhaus's endless, easily overlooked sound art piece emanating from a sewer grate on Broadway between 45th and 46th St. The installation, Times Square (Nehaus)…

Let's walk through the Lightning Field
I've been thinking about the Danish term "uitwaaien," which refers to fighting anxiety by walking or jogging against a very strong wind. It's been something I've hoped to accomplish recently but unfortunately we've been in the middle of a slight Indian Summer (or is it too early?), so the air has...

Let's sit by the creek
Meant to upload this a couple of days ago for my girlfriend for Valentine's Day. She booked us a creekside home on AirBnB for my birthday a few weeks back. We could hear it just outside our window by the bed and she would go out each morning and evening and just sit there, looking off, listening.…

5/2/2022 - Let's Have a Sit in the Rain
I went outside in the rain and sat under a giant umbrella while I drank coffee and read Severance (no relation to the show, despite the article I learned about it from indicating otherwise). You can hear the rain, police sirens, an airplane, some wind noise distortion, wind chimes, and a church...

1/2/2022 1pm - Wissahickon Trail
I missed my turn and ended up back at an entrance to the Wissahickon Trails I've previously used. Or I did at least once, to check out the Hermit's Cave. The local clinic's pharmacy phone line hasn't been working for over a week, so I haven't been able to refill my prescription for my SSRI and…

12/4/2021 - Eraserhood Forever
Last night I went to see Eraserhead for the umpteenth time. It was being projected inside a tunnel under the disused train track (I believe the idea is to extend the brief rail park through here at some point) a block from where David Lynch used to live in Philly. The area is now lovingly…

10/10/2021 - Let's Go for a Drive
I haven't gotten around to recording any of my walks for a while, but I might this weekend if I can get my car back and go look for the ruins in the park so I can finally upload this damn album to bandcamp. So, whilst driving home from my girlfriend's place in NJ, I realized I had my recording...

7/31/2021 - An afternoon walk down Kelly Drive
I think this may be my favorite recording thus far. I was fairly annoyed while walking because despite driving down this road each time I go to the office, it hadn't occurred to me that the walking path is primarily right against the road. My motivation for taking this walk was in part because I...

7/10/2021 - Roughly 2:45pm
I recorded this yesterday during a new weed holiday, seemingly created by the legal weed industry, called OIL Day. You see, if you look at the number 710 upside down it kinda looks like it says OIL. I'm fairly certain this did not exist before this year and I have no intention of working it into…

Happy Mother's Day - 4pm
I texted my mom. I took her last week to get the J&J vaccine (she's deathly afraid of needles, though she doesn't know or understand why), so I've done my part. Also I'll probably see her next weekend when she goes to see her granddaughter (my niece) for the first time. She was born in January,...

Easter 2021 - Around Noon
In movies when you hear the sound of footsteps, cars driving by, the wind, etc., those are usually not exactly what you're seeing. Sometimes, particularly in lower budget movies, the sound will be recorded live, but for the most part what you're hearing is a recreation of those sounds either in a...

2/24/2021 - Around 8:30pm
Went for a walk from Northern Liberties into Old City. Only recorded one way, spent the walk back listening to Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Soundproof, a radio program that was unceremoniously cancelled in 2015 or 2016 only after a couple years on the air. It had actually followed the...

2/3/2021, around 8pm
Inaugeral episode. I finally christen my binaural mics I bought over a year ago with a walk through the snow and such around my neighborhood in Northern Liberties, Philadelphia. I'll get an email address and all set up if anyone is listening to this and/or anyone wants to submit audio of their…
