The Day We Met
It's a song...lend it your ear.
This is a slow, musing song. The character is looking at a wall of photos and is thinking back to the day they met the love of their life. How, in that moment, their life was changed and all of the intervening years of cherished memories that sprang from it.

Volcanic Sounds of the Yellowstone Caldera
It's an Album
It was a cold October week in Wyoming when our adventurous recordist decided to poke their gear at the fumaroles and other attractions of Yellowstone. Off peak times of year have fewer noisy humans about which increases the odds of capturing a acceptable, uninterrupted length of recording. Yellowstone is fascinating. in some areas you feel like you are standing upon a giant teakettle that is boiling furiously. If there are no people around so you can sit on the boardwalks you can feel the ground moving as huge bubbles of gas shift from chamber to chamber in the earth beneath you.
But even in the off-season Yellowstone is interesting enough that it attracts lots of people. So our recordist wasn't able to capture the lengthy recordings that we love. But that didn't stop them from dangling their smallest microphones into the throats of tiny gurglers. or setting up their larger mics on billowing belchers. From the nature of the place, there is a lot of sub-sonic sounds. We toned them down a bit, but if you have a good sub-woofer, you might enjoy sitting on it while listening to some of these.

We're big in Japan
For some reason Scott Joplin's New Rag is a popular tune in Japan. For sure it ranks nothing close to even the least popular j-pop tune. But to see an American piano song from 1912 getting any attention at all is kind of a cool thing. Thank you, all of the people of Japan who have streamed it!
Such excitement!
Such excitement!
