Getting ready for a site redesign. If things look funky for a bit, just excuse the dust. It will be back to normal shortly (I hope).

What can I say? More recordings of birds, this time in a park near my wife’s parent’s house.

My wife’s parents haven’t slept in the same room in years and years. One listen to this recording and you know why.

Visited my grandmother this past week in southern Indiana. She was recently diagnosed with Parkinson disease and is thinking of moving out of the house she has lived in the last 50 odd years. It is secluded out in the country somewhat, and refreshing to not hear the noise pollution I’m used to. This is a short clip from a session I did outside one morning listening to the birds.

While taking a walk one afternoon, I heard somebody practicing a shakuhachi, the Japanese traditional bamboo flute. My wife said that she has never heard somebody just practicing this instrument, so it must a have been a stroke of good luck to be passing just as someone was practicing. Unfortunately, as you might guess, it was a bit hard to hear since it was coming from inside of a house, and in order to raise the levels enough to hear it, there is a bit of background hissing. You can also hear some traffic pass, and a few leafs blowing by in the wind.
