The thing about this is, is this is how born-rich people *already* do it - whether it's making art, or starting a business, or whatever they successfully do. They already know it works.

Yup. Got to know Tom and Cindy. Bought a Zorks ribbon controller there.

Flashback: Buying some Schlappi Engineering goodness in Control Voltage, Portland, OR, 2019. Was driving up to play at the Velocity festival in Seattle. Good times, saw so many friends. Miss y'all. #eurorack #livemusic

Lassen Volcanic National Park, just to Shasta’s southeast. Spent a lot of time in Hat Creek Valley as well, part of Lassen National Forest.

Finally back from a much needed vacation in the southern Cascades, despite delays and setbacks due to weather. Mostly for exercise and exploration, but still captured about 12 hours of nature recordings.

Exactly. Especially airplanes. Almost nowhere on our planet can you go 15 minutes or more without hearing anthropophony. Such spots exist but are getting rarer by the year. (Recommended read: “One Square Inch of Silence,” Gordon Hempton)

The persistence and perseverance of life on this planet is nothing short of astonishing.

Excited – and sad – to say that I've reached a new personal best: 24 contiguous minutes of wilderness recording without a single airplane or vehicle sound.

😍, but also, 😢.

It’s more like climbing 700’ in 1/4 mile on the nastiest sand dune ever. Coming down is 100% controller sliding. (Trail is 30-35% grade.) The top, though…)

That’s Cinder Cone (we hiked to the top, pretty brutal) at Lassen Volcanic National Park, near Butte Lake.

Largely on vacation, but when the opportunity comes around, sometimes you’ve just got to… #fieldrecording #sounddesign

Thrilled to have graced volume two, and especially proud to close out the whole series, and this release, with my exclusive track “Spent” being the last song on disc two. ❤️

Ardbeg. Some find it challenging, I love my whisky tasting like preserved bog people. One of my faves, excels with a couple of drops of water.

I can't imagine why I'm possibly thinking about this song today. Utter mystery. Hmm. I wonder.
