The spring 2023 semester provided an opportunity for me to finally show a new sound sculpture that have been in development since 2018. The piece entitled every morning explores the soundscape at DeLeon Spring State Park, where I made 24 visits and recorded over 16 hours of audio field recordings. It was originally selected for […]
In January of 2022, I joined the Acoustical Society of America (ASA) because I was seeking an organization dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of sound. The journal copies that started arriving did not disappoint, bouncing between topics like physics, bioacoustics, medicine, music, linguistics, and noise. I followed up by attending their December 2022 conference in […]
Audio field recording is an activity that involves taking equipment out into environments, whether natural or urban, to capture sound. It is an activity that can capture the rare vocalizations of individual species, like oystercatchers and lapwings. It can also capture the sound of a place, or its soundscape. These soundscapes can be an important tool for understanding the […]
Toward the end of my recent residency at Canaveral, Eve Payor and I collaborated to record the sunrise from the top of Turtle Mound. It’s a continuous take lasting 1 hour, 15 minutes, perfect for active or passive enjoyment. Beautiful colors fill the sky and birds start vocalizing around 40 minutes in. Enjoy!
As a native of Central Florida, I’ve made countless trips to the beaches in Volusia and Brevard counties throughout my life. But my 2020 residency for the ACA Soundscape Field Station transformed the purpose of those “beach days”. From May to November, I made 17 trips to the Canaveral National Seashore and recorded over 100 […]
It’s really satisfying to see something you’ve written published, especially when it is released in a beautifully designed and printed book. I recently received my copy of Sound and Environment, a book edited by Jan Krtička & Pavel Mrkus. It assembles contributions from the 2019 gathering of CENSE where I presented about DeLeon Springs. Very […]
I have been named the 2020 artist-in-residence for the ACA Soundscape Field Station at the Canaveral National Seashore. As part of this residency, I will spend four weeks later this year living within the park, during which time I’ll have the ability to record along its 25 miles of protected coastline. Eve Payor of Atlantic […]
Dr. Bernie Krause’s guest lecture at Stetson really helped raise awareness on campus and in the local community about the importance of acoustic ecology research.
I recently had the pleasure of traveling to the Czech Republic and sharing some of my audio field recording work from DeLeon Springs State Park. The presentation was part of the Central European Network on Sonic Ecologies (CENSE) conference. It was great meeting so many sound artists and researchers from this part of the world […]
I have released 5 tracks captured at DeLeon Springs during my yearlong field recording project to celebrate World Listening Day.
