this is a sort of home for field recordings i have made; modestly following the paths tread by such luminaries as Chris Watson, Taylor Deupree, and Matt Davies. i hope you like them (they tend to sound better with headphones), & i shall add to them as often as i am able; any recent additions will always be placed at the top. (amusingly, my friend Simon pointed out that it is possible play tracks simultaneously, thus creating a ‘mega-mix’ according to your personal taste)
