7AM sounds from the porch of a small cabin in Roslyn, Washington

Roslyn Morning 1

This is the first piece in a series called "13 Minute Journeys". It is a collection of 13-minute audio environments that fade in, take you somewhere, culminate with a distant thunder clap at exactly 13 minutes, and dissipate in a 1 minute transition back to "reality". My first piece is "South American Jungle" (attached).

Why 13 minutes? 5 minutes is too short, 10 minutes is too digital, 20 minutes is too long of a commitment for most of us working folk. 13 minutes is right in there, and 13 is a magic number.

South American Jungle

Enjoy the tranquil simplicity of a pacific north western brook applauding an unseasonably warm and sunny February midday under the lacy silhouette of towering evergreens.
