This track contains buzzing flies.

In the mountains in Los Angeles County, I came across a congregation of hoverflies "singing" in a cement drainage below the dirt fire road. The hoverflies would land on the cement or nearby rocks and vibrate their wings to produce the primary sound heard in the recording. This track is a shorter sample of a 15 minute recording session and is edited with a low cut and brief fade in/out. There is a different, unedited sample on iNaturalist at: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/109713007

The low electrical buzzing you hear is from power lines above the road. You can also hear a bird who came to investigate.

Stereo soundscape recordings. Sometime nature, sometimes people, sometimes machinery. Sometimes quiet things like a single branch creaking in the wind on Dartmoor, sometimes odd moments in the city. Mostly local, but sometimes travelling. 

Just a dabbler in field recording. I enjoy any excuse to go out and sit quietly in natural surroundings. All the better if it produces a record that can be enjoyed again and again.

Before Sept 2022 - Southern California
After Sept 2022 - western Washington

Mainly nature field recordings from the Ouachita and Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. Some recordings are done in northern Italy, near Lago Maggiore, mostly in Val Veddasca.

Original compositions played upon various acoustic instruments. 

At the moment, the majority of music I record is original folk tunes. Most of these tunes arise whilst out in natural ecosystems or shortly after visiting a natural ecosystem. The titles often reflect an aspect of the ecosystem I had noticed while the tune came about. Lately this is usually a species of bird.

Tin whistles and flutes appear the most often in my recordings; though mandolin, tenor guitar, lyre harp, jaw harp, dulcitar, and a handful of other instruments show up fairly often as well.

And here's some more music I've made along with my friend Dan Jones:

Assorted dark/ambient sound collages and experimental noisescapes /jams  - 
iOS and hardware - influences and inspiration include field recordings, sound design, electro/mechanical and natural ambient/drone textures and consequently my audio experiments often contain elements of these.
