First day in the studio for "Hot-N-Ready" sessions and Ryan's amp picks up a particular radio signal... or is it ghosts?!

Patron Ghost Ryan's Again

The Ambient Rhythms of Bizarre Banter at a Basement Show

Motorcycle Revving Engine, Deep Natural Reverberations, w/Return

please pardon the rude wind plosives. this was before I had a windscreen, but I could hardly resist posting this fun and unusual sound. enjoy.

Outside A Dentist Office; outdoors, organic, acousmatic, pipe drone+ doppler, traffic & earth hums

TRUCK ROAR, Guttural

neighbor in apartment complex working out some gospel, window open. there was a playground across the way, so I probably just hung out... apparently for 45 mins!

Rev. Gospel Organ Neighbor, eavesdropping

moan.scream; siren going through tunnel (falling down hole), long fade away, traffic sounds, birds

truck passes by; "roar," guttural

raw, unedited field recording of found sound. industrial parking garage ambiance= lush, wall-of-sound, gradually builds; truck sounds-- rumbling low drone, engine squeak drone, hissing drone (simultaneously)

industrial; pure&natural ambiance via parking garage reverberations*

acoustic guitar > tascam dr-08 > Adobe Audition*

*bittersweet about this track. first time trying AA and quickly learned that it auto-overwrites the original, imported track (most people rec making dupes). so lost the original field recording while tinkering, but was left with this little trip. done in a single take on an old acoustic guitar, probably missing 1-2 strings and lawd knoes what tuning. turn up volume, close your eyes, breathe inward, breathe outward...

Guitar Meditation

sitting in the woods :: microphones-as-ears

the natural[ (frequency of bird calls) X (rate of low-flying aircraft) ] = drone ambiance

field recording manifesto: as an artist/musician i strive to exploit the endless possibilities of not just music, but sound. and not just for the benefit of pleasing the aural senses (ear candy) but incorporating ALL sounds, harsh and otherwise. if they can be drawn out of an object, they exist, and are fair game, deserving the intimacy of a microphone leaning in, tracking every distinct subtlety, always unique & fleeting in that particular moment (whether recording or not). Even familiar or redundant sounds are produced, or emitted slightly differently every time. This opens the doors to subtle, mind-manifesting possibilities to all audiences. sometimes curious, and sometimes nostalgic, many "industrial" noises and acousmatic sounds can and will fuel innovative creativity and imagination...
