City

Fifth track of my album based on Robert W Chambers book "The King in Yellow" (1895).

The King in Yellow

In the Court of the Dragon

In the wolf forest close to Uppsala I placed a drop rig continuously recording for 48 hours and mixed it down to nine minutes. In the order they appear:
willow tit
crested tit
capercaillie, male flew past very close
pygmy owl
common scooter, two flocks migrating south
rain shower
WOLVES
pygmy owl
ural owl, female barking
jay
crested tit
raven landed close and walked around at the same time as WOLVES had a concert in the distance
crested tit
willow tit
Siggefora, Uppland. September 1 to 3, 2022.

Wolf forest from dusk to dawn

Solitary Rider written by Bryan and Henri Ciliberto 
The first couplet comes from William Shakespeare's poem "A Song"

Bryan Ciliberto - bass, guitar, organ, electric piano, vocal
Henri Ciliberto - drums
Jon Ciliberto - guitar
Joe Drzewiecki - saxophone

In a dream it did seem
but alas, dreams do pass
as do shadows

wide awake what’s at stake
eyes are shut in a rut
like stuck windows

Solitary rider, how long have you been hunted and pursued
Solitary rider, don’t despair the light will get you through

wrote a verse not a curse
wicked duty to kill  beauty
not so clever

but the voice like a chose 
not erased or defaced
lives forever

Solitary rider, how long have you been hunted and pursued
Solitary rider, don’t despair the light will get you through

1000 lashes, knife gashes
all this violence meant to silence
human voices

but if you wept don’t accept
don’t allow hide or cower
to these choices

Solitary rider, how long have you been hunted and pursued
Solitary rider, don’t despair the light will get you through

Solitary Rider

Escape From Surreality

Change My View

11th of February 2023.    I was not sure if  would go out early to record as I both wanted and not wanted to go at the same time, sometimes I feel like that.  If I was going to get up I would need to wake at 4.50am.  
I usually have the radio on for a lot of the night it helps me to sleep.  I woke to a Led Zeppelin track, so what time was it ?  4.49am, so I thought that seeing that I woke at the right time I would get up.  Got out of bed at 4.53am.  Left home for Ballinvally woods at 5.55am, arrived at 6.21am.  The birds began to sing and call at 6.52am.  A nearby Songthrush sang really well, so I got a nice close perspective recording.  After this I recorded various sounds in the area.  A lot of jets went over, so I gave up and went home, left at 8.05am, got back at 8.33am.  It was a calm dry cloudy morning.  I used only the MixPre3 and the Rode NTG-8 gun microphone (No second recording rig/Drop rig).  This Soundcloud track was made up from four of the five recordings, a sort of medley of the mornings work.

What is this war all about?
Going into the deepest depths of the first few words of the parsha, based on the teachings of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach z'l.

Vayera - What is a Revelation - Rav Shlomo Katz

A cabinetmaker by trade.  I have been recording birds for over 40 years.  Even as a seven year old I loved to hear the sound of birds. 
I believe that birdsong is a perfect reflection of the natural environment and yet a part of the experience of the environment.  
Over the years I have made some wildlife films and videos.  For wildlife recording I have been around Ireland, Wales, Finland, Estonia, Sweden, Belize, Guyana, Brazil, Peru and Costa Rica. At the moment I have 26 albums of birdsong/nature, most of which can be found here for free download in high quality F.L.A.C. format.
  
Birdsong is Spiritual Medicine,
a Natural Treasure 
and a Companion to Silence.
