Small sounds

 

The ear is a doorway to wonder and awe. The little everyday sounds that we take for granted can, with a slight shift in attention, context, speed, or emphasis, reveal hidden layers of deep meaning and great beauty.

Here is a sampling of field recordings, compositions, and sonic ephemera from my studio.
