The Wave Organ
Last week I visited San Francisco for a company engineering meet up. I brought along a small recording kit, and while I didn't collect as much sound as I hoped, I did manage to make it to The Wave Organ. The first recording—captured with contact microphones—is one of the docks you encounter while...

Summer Streets on Park Ave
For a few Saturdays each year, the NYC DOT shuts down car traffic on several streets across the five boroughs. It's called Summer Streets, and from around midnight until around 2pm you'll find only pedestrians and bikes on these stretches of road. I recorded this from the median of Park Avenue as...

Montauk
We spent a few days in Montauk at the end of July. This was Violet's first beach trip so I tried to capture as much as I could. These are some of the highlights.

Morning Cab to the NICU
A lot has happened in the last year, and I haven't been able—or necessarily had the drive—to record and publish. Our daughter was born in July 2022, and spent the first month and a half of her life in the NICU. Each morning, we'd get up, pack a bag and hail a cab to go be with her. We spent a lot...

E 87th and 5th
Took a walk and ate lunch on a park bench near E 87th and 5th (near the Guggenheim museum). After I finished my sandwich I hung out for a while and recorded some of the day. This episode is two separate recordings captured with a MixPre 6 II and two Clippy EM272 omnidirectional microphones.

Palm Beach
My wife and I traveled to Palm Beach for a final vacation before our daughter arrives in August. Captured an evening storm and some early morning chatter of frogs, crickets and a boisterous Northern Cardinal near the beach.

Swan Lake
I visited my parents in Sumter, SC in January. Apparently, this small town is home to the only public park in the United States to feature all swan species. While I was there I managed to capture quite a few of them including: - Black Swan - Trumpeter Swan - Black-necked Swan - Mute Swan…

Enter Autumn
Welcome back. It's been a while. Since we last saw each other I bought a new recorder: a Sound Devices MixPre 6 II. It's a joy to use. Some of the sounds recorded in this episode were captured with this new recorder and some with my old Zoom H5. I've recorded a lot of smaller things over the…

Rain Over Valdese
This is one of the first recordings I made with the Zoom H5. We spent some time visiting NC during the summer of 2019. It had been quite a while since we'd been out of the NYC, and the quiet pattering of rain sounded amazing.
