This week's project was an easy one for me. I love taking some time in the morning to walk a bit in nature when I can, so today I just brought my recorder with me. This was my favorite recording from the session; a stiff autumn breeze kicked up the water just enough to generate interest, but not so much that it overwhelmed the H5's (somewhat finicky) stock mics.

Living rurally has its perks except for when one is listening for sounds of civilization ... need something of the "natural world?" No problem! I'm swimming in it. Need some industrial sounds? A little more challenging ... especially when I travel to an even more remote destination in the hills of Pennsylvania to be with family. I wasn't sure what I was going to be able to capture for sounds of civilization as Amish buggies count as traffic noise, but they don't really have a predictable rush hour to make recording them easy. So I was surprised and delighted when I saw this family working their corn field on the side of the road just out of town. I stood less than 10 feet away from their machines as they drove by and looked at me like I was a bit of a fish out of water. I waved at them and they waved back. Mission accomplished!

disquiet0517 - 'go barry'

🎉 Ten years of halF unusuaL on YouTube! Here's a soundtrack for your next birthday party! 😁 Check out the visuals: https://youtu.be/clpyDqbWqM8

From the first visual experiments and glitch loops to hand puppets (real and imagined), music boxes, and all kinds of sonic oddities — the halF unusuaL YouTube channel has become the visual twin to halF unusuaL’s sonic world, rooted here on SoundCloud.

To celebrate, here’s a birthday tune like no other:
🎵 a real music box plays “Happy Birthday” — wound and fed on-screen — while a well-meaning sock puppet battles with birthday candles in true unusuaL fashion.

Created using VideoSync 2 this piece marks a decade of curiosity, rhythm, and the joy of not quite knowing what will happen next.

Huge thanks to everyone who’s watched, listened, commented, or stumbled into this strange corner of the internet over the years.
Here’s to the next 10 … and to whatever weirdness lights up along the way. 🧦✨
