Hey, that’s a photo of Andy Slater working with some Young Sound Seekers! Check out this article for @transom.bsky.social by Andrew Leland.

This 1000%!

Teaching MIDI composition in Logic Pro to my intro students & workshopping a new analogy. The piano roll & step sequencer are like working with Lego bricks. The loop library is like working with pre-assembled furniture. Did I pick this up somewhere? If so, would like to cite my source!

If you need some slow TV as a distraction today, I recommend watching Artemis II roll out to the launch pad. Unfortunately, the soundtrack is underwhelming. 1/3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrVn...

For those outside of Volusia, our county council recently pulled funding for arts organizations. These were local grants made to local organizations using local tax dollars. 1/6

Visited our local morning TV news program to talk about Young Sound Seekers and Stetson University. Glad I was joined by Marvel and Chaylee, who shared their perspective as students working on this experiential learning project. Watch the video here: www.fox35orlando.com/video/1717599

"Canaveral National Seashore is the best classroom I've ever worked in. Every time I lead a Young Sound Seekers excursion or take students from Stetson, I am filled with gratitude that we have a place like Canaveral nearby. 1/4

Looking past the clickbait headline, this is really worrisome. Starship is orders of magnitude louder than the current rockets that liftoff from KSC. #canaveral #soundscape 1/2 www.space.com/space-explor...

This tracks with my story. People outside academia are always confused why I moved from Florida to Hawaii, then back to Florida a year later. Short answer: tenure-track position near family.

Pointless is streaming on Prime in USA! My favorite UK game show. If I told you about this show when I got back from Scotland, check it out! www.amazon.com/gp/video/det...

Thank you, Brian! Adding this to the resource links for my #SoundDesign students this semester.

Listen up for the true call of a bald eagle. Not what you typically hear from movies & TV. #bioacoustics #SoundDesign 👂 🦅

These anti-AI tropes are far older than 1980s synths. Don’t forget this gem by Sousa in 1906 writing against “the multiplication of the various music-reproducing machines.” 1/2 ocw.mit.edu/courses/21m-...

One of my big summer projects has been working on this documentary. I am excited to say that we are close to sharing the finished video with the public. Please make plans to join us for this premiere event in New Smyrna Beach. It's FREE and open to EVERYONE. 1/3

Layover in Atlanta airport, standing alone while others stopped at restrooms. I was clutching a small MIDI keyboard that didn’t fit in my bags. Suddenly a wheel chair approaches with Little Richard. He spots keyboard, smiles & points at me, then lets out a lengthy “heeeey!” as porter pushes past.

LOUDER! (so the people using leaf blowers can hear you)

Interesting study about the potential motivations for #DawnChorus among birds.

Super excited to see these hit the NPS website! Our collection of six Young Sound Seekers activities are now available for download!!! 1/2 www.nps.gov/teachers/cla...

Getting ready to leave for New Orleans & the Acoustical Society of America meeting. I'm excited to present in the education block about a speed of sound demo developed for Young Sound Seekers. My lesson design uses common field recording gear to make the speed of sound audible in real-time. 1/2

@davidhendy.bsky.social Spotted your book in the Chicago Public Library today! #noise #listening

Wednesday - Today was filled with culture. Spent the day at the Art Institute… 🎨🧑‍🎨 1/2

Tuesday, part 2 - Took the L to Wrigley Field. Many updates to the ballpark since the last time we were here, but the atmosphere remains unmatched in baseball. This is the greatest place to watch a game, especially when the Cubs score 3 in the 9th to walk off with a win! ⚾️ 🧢

Tuesday, part 1 - Spent the morning & early afternoon exploring the Loop & River on foot. 🏙️🚶🏻‍♂️

Monday - Rented a car & went searching for places we used to live. 🏡🚙 For Amy & I, our first apartment in Rogers Park & second apartment in Evanston. 1/2

Hello Chicago! 👋 Spending a few days in the Windy City with dad & my family. Less than 24 hours & we’ve already checked 2 things off our must-do list: ✅ ride the L 🚃 ✅ eat deep dish pizza 🍕

Horrible. 😢

Anyone able to help? Trying again with a few more tags. #bioacoustics #underwater #ultrasound #hydrophone

Group photo with the Young Sound Seekers. This photo was taken on the Stetson campus at our final monthly outing. The group of 19 is posing by Holler fountain, a landmark in the center of campus. Behind us are tall palm trees, while the ground beneath us is brick pavers.

Any #bioacoustic folks able to help identify an underwater ultrasonic source (25-40 kHz)? My students & I picked this up when both boats & dolphins were in the area. Not sure if the origin is human or dolphin. I have slowed it to quarter speed. soundcloud.com/digastetson/...

Today was the final monthly excursion for @yngsoundseekers. Lots of emotions as I reflect on 5 years of adventures with these kids. Above all, I'm super proud of all that we accomplished together! #soundscape #FieldRecording #listening 1/3

Our senior exhibition opens this week! Super proud of the work these #Stetson students have created. Open now through May 10. If you are in the area, make plans to experience it for yourself. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuCf...

So true. Amen Break is essential music history for the last 50 years.

Why am I just learning about The Birdsong Project? 5 hours of music and poetry! www.thebirdsongproject.com/for-the-birds

I've been co-teaching our senior class this year & mentoring many projects. We are installing in the gallery now & getting ready to open their group exhibition. If you live in & around DeLand, please make plans to join us on April 17 for the opening reception! handartcenter.org/calendar/cre...

Today, my DIGA 260V students had fun putting together this short demo of film sound differences. Pretty effective summary of the sonic differences between a camera mic, boompole, & wireless lav. youtu.be/TdWCBWEvrjo

When leaders normalize calling others ‘enemies,’ we should all be alarmed. When rhetoric turns into action, as we’ve already seen with attacks on higher education, we can’t ignore it. #HigherEd #HigherEducation 1/3

When the word ‘enemies’ is spoken by those in power, how can we ignore it? I feel the actions taken against American higher education these last few weeks prove that this was not just empty rhetoric in 2021. #SoundArt #SoundInstallation #ArtAsActivism 1/4

‘Enemies’—a word from the US oath of office—now tossed around so easily. What does that say about our leaders? What does it say about us as a country? #SoundArt #SoundInstallation #OathOfOffice 1/3

I don't usually make political art. But with each passing day, it feels less like usual times. Not when we have leaders who use of the term "enemies" so casually. What does it mean when our leaders use that word? #SoundArt #SoundInstallation #PoliticalArt 1/4

My YouTube video about the Zoom H4essential audio recorder recently passed 6000 views in 4 months. Easy to see it is having an impact beyond my #StetsonU students. Guess I should make more of these? #FieldRecording #GearTalk #GettingStarted www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0Cq...

Author copies for my book 'Sonic Pasts: acoustical heritage and historical soundscapes' have now arrived. Right on time for Christmas 😊 The book is now available for sale for anyone interested 🎁 www.routledge.com/Sonic-Pasts-...

On Dec 12, NPS rangers and other environmental educators gathered together at Canaveral National Seashore for our very first Listen & Learn event. Our goal: equip them with vocabulary, activities, & other knowledge so that they could make #soundscape more prominent in their work with the public. 1/2

To close out my exploratory workshop on sound, I asked the MFA students to write short sound scores in the style of the Italian Futurists. This was meant as an exercise to practice using the vocabulary I introduced for describing sound. #PerformanceArt #SoundArt 1/4
