Created yesterday from original recordings made on location under a bridge in Wester Ross, and in a hawthorn glade in north Northumberland.

It's Been a While

Yellowstone completely blew my mind. I now, finally understand why folks talk about it so much. I’ve been to national parks before. Badlands being the most recent that I visited in the beginning of this same road trip, but Yellowstone is like 20 national parks in one. I had no idea the vast amount of space and diversity that I was to witness every day we spent there. You can literally spend the entire day driving through the park, finding new sights and landscapes that are completely different to what you witnessed the day or even hours before. 

Regrettably, this is the only soundscape I captured from my trip to Yellowstone, being such a multifarious subject, but it also happens to be one of my favorites I’ve captured thus far. Never before have I captured the sound of ‘space’ like this. You can really hear the distance that surrounds you there. 

The trail we hiked is riddled with Lodgepole Pine trees that tower over you. I love these trees because you can hear them creak as they gently sway in the wind. Shortly after I started recording, what looked like a military-grade plane flew overhead, briefly shaking the near-silence as a reminder that even the most distant and heavily protected areas of our planet are still very much inhabited by humans in some shape or form. 

Yellowstone was on the tail-end of our mid-west travels this past October, starting in Des Moines, Iowa to Badlands, South Dakota and ending in Yellowstone National Park, with pitstops at Mount Rushmore and Sheridan, Wyoming to enjoy the local pub culture.

Robbie Martin is joined once again by deep politics researcher gumby4christ to discuss the mysterious origins of COVID-19 and to parse through the torrent of anti-China propaganda seeping it's way into the US media ecosystem on all sides. 

As a growing consensus builds around the possibility of COVID-19 being man-made/lab-created Robbie and gumby4christ examine why the Wuhan Institute of Virology was scapegoated as the culprit while neocon think-tanks and other nefarious political actors (including from the 'intellectual dark web') omitted the involvement of white Americans with ties to the US bioweapons industry when rushing to characterize this possible scenario as a Chinese military bio-weapons release.

"Wolf Songs Folk Songs" vinyl available now.  Here is a review from Lost in a Sea of Sound:

"The connective fibers of the physical and spiritual glide effortlessly on this sonic journey.  Wolf Songs Folk Songs can be a cool canopy to rest under or a sun drenched warm hilltop field, but this requires an investment from each listener.  The compositions tremendous diversity and complex patterns is like a heavy shower of rain. Listening under covered shelter a few times eventually provides the soundness to feel comfortable getting soaked.

Corwin Trails is the yoke pulling music heritage and innovation. Ten tracks, constellations in the night sky. Outlines in sound resting in current temporal sonic state. Beauty finding place in what remains unreachable, Corwin Trails rhythmic composites are like undiscovered elements within the planet's crust. Creating another aspect of these harmonies are field recordings from around the world and actual sounds from the forests of Corwin Trails home in Michigan. After many listens, one comparison that came to mind a few times is the album Lost and Safe by The Books."
