Last updated November 19, 2025I am writing from the laundromat onf 31st Av.  I have been listneing to easy listening from the 50s and 60s and making foley recordings in my apartment for a personal project coming soon. I am working independently on a research paper based on my findings in a recent audio project. And I am bundling up and staying warm.

FIELD RECORDING

The beach was totally deserted other than four men fishing and a family behind us celebrating a birthday. The wind had carved ripples in the sand.

Dune Beach, New York, 11 October, 2025



After dinner we went to find a place to watch the sunset and wound up at a park a few miles up Route 9. It was dusk and we settled on a bench facing a pond where the fish were having a feeding frenzy.

The top of Stelvio is a carnival of alpine sound, the low rumble of motorcycles, buzzing free hubs, and chattering in German, Italian, French, English, Spanish. My wallet didn’t follow me up the mountain and so I sat behind Richard’s tasting the smells.
