about

Anniversary Leaves is a compilation of field recordings consisting primarily of thunderstorms, wind moving through trees, and vehicles passing over a bridge. The primary underlying recording - which comes in and out of focus throughout "Anniversary Leaves" - was recorded in the late night of my 6th anniversary with my partner, Ida in the anticipation of an oncoming storm (which ultimately never arrived). We were surrounded by trees which were shaken continuously by the heavy winds. Layered onto this recording are many other recordings of leaves put in motion by wind, as well as a small number of other captured sounds and a handful of performed sounds.

Bridge & Creek | Thunder & Rain juxtaposes creek against rain and thunder against the passing of cars from an overhead bridge. Bridge & Creek was recorded in Knoxville, Tennessee's Tyson park under Tyson McGhee Park St bridge, which Third Creek runs under. Thunder & Rain consists of thunderstorms recorded in both Tennessee and Kansas. This work fades between the two; the falling of rain pairs with the running water of Third Creek while thunder pairs with the vehicles passing overhead.

In addition to these works, this album also includes the raw field recordings which serve as the primary materials of this album if the listener wishes to listen to these soundscapes unaltered.
