At The End. Ingonish Beach June 2022 at Sunset

Join me at Colonel Samuel Smith Park to feed the various waterfowl at the pond. This is a mix of two recordings done simultaneously with a Zoom H6. One stereo mic faced toward the pond, and one hydrophone draped over a large pipe in front of me which connects the pond to lake ontario. Feeding them lettuce and bird seed. The swans come through the pipe part way through as you will hear. I am also joined by a curious onlooker and another person on the phone watching from the path behind me.

Feeding Waterfowl at Colonel Samuel Smith Park

A stereo recording from my zoom h1 as I visited campus one last time before moving across the country during the COVID-19 pandemic. Walk begins above the student centre building (before the new one was built, you can hear it being built). The walk then moves through the AQ and into the school of communication. You can hear my water bottle and footsteps and breathe as a reminder of the BC August heat.

Binaural headphone experiments in the Toronto Island Boat Yard. Processed as a dreamscape based on the spooky sounds of the boat masts during a spring afternoon walk.

Boat Graveyard Dreamscape

Come sit by the pond with me in Colonel Samuel Smith Park Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada, to listen to the life underneath the water and above. This recording was done on October 1, 2022. Wildlife on-site includes a school of minnows or shiners (not alewife fish), ducks, algae/plant life, and insects, among the sounds of humans, airplanes, and roadway traffic.

Minimally edited to reconstruct the disorienting loudness of listening on site. Recorded using a hydrophone and a binaural headset.
