I'm a freelance writer, broadcaster, producer and composer based in Vancouver. My audio documentary work includes the series The Wire: the Impact of Electricity on Music, which won a Peabody Award and the Prix Italia.

I currently host a classical music program on CBC Radio 2 called In Concert. Wearing other hats, I created the CBC Radio 3 Bucky Awards, played taiko in the Kiyoshi Nagata Ensemble and was cultural correspondent for CBC TV’s coverage of the 2006 Winter Olympics.

Lately I've been really excited about a new series I'm working on called The Signature Series. Check it out right here on Soundcloud:

Fresh music in multiple genres by American composer, producer and performer, Scot Crandal (ASCAP)

ABOUT ME
I am a Dutch illustrator and animator. I always strive for a simple image, with a clear message, without noise. I'm also an avid field recordist.

ABOUT THIS PAGE
This SoundCloud page contains my field recordings. An old hobby that grew big over the last years and gives me great pleasure. A lot of these recordings end up being used in my music and live performances one way or another. Follow the Einzelganger-link below to go to my musical project.

BINAURAL
Some of the recordings are 'binaural', meaning that the method of capture recreates an accurate stereo image of the environment when listened to using headphones. To enjoy this effect, listen to those marked 'Binaural fieldrecording' using headphones!

<b>GEAR</b>
I use a Zoom H2, Zoom H2n and Zoom 4Hn recorder. Sometimes with additional Sound Professionals SP-TFB-2 binaural microphones.

<b>MUSIC</b>
Some recordings end up being used in my music. You can hear examples of that on the pages of http://soundcloud.com/einzelganger and http://soundcloud.com/mouchesvolantes
