Turns out the fuck-your-feelings crowd has A LOT of feelings.

Wall test :) Working on a soundmap of my 2023 thru hike of the pacific crest trail. Around 200 soundscapes from Mexico to Canada. Still a ways to go on this project but I’m really happy with the progress! #pct #fieldrecording #soundmap #nature #sound #acousticecology

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

That means your favorite hiking trails, campsites, and wild places could be sold off to the highest bidder. Tell your Senators to REMOVE this dangerous provision!

A friend helped make this guide to the public land sell off. Please share with friends, esp people out of the democratic states that this directly effects. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

A map of public lands proposed for selloff eligibility in the Big Beautiful Bill. 250mil acres with a mandate to sell 2-3mil in the next five years. Contact your senators and share this widely, please. #publiclandselloff #publiclands #stopthelandgrab #nature

Last week I headed east for a few days to recording the Brood XIV cicada emergence. It was a challenging trip, but I managed to come home with at least a couple gems 💎 #fieldrecording #cicadas #broodxiv #nature #soundscape

Spent a couple days in Angeles NF last week. I staged some DIY pinhole cameras in a couple spots well off the beaten path paired with unattended field recorders for four days. Multi-day exposures, multi-day recordings. #pinholecamera #fieldrecording #diy

Mountain Merries: like Sunday Scaries but instead I’m headed up into the San Gabriel’s tmrw and it’s positive anticipation

Oregon crickets from the vantage of my tent in 2023. As tedious as the editing phase of this project is, it keeps me feeling connected to trail and public lands more generally. Keeping the spirit alive is an act of protest. #fieldrecording

Thanks as always @earth-fm.bsky.social

A recording of rolling thunder in the Mojave from my 2023 PCT thru hike. One of a couple hundred recordings that will be included on my upcoming PCT soundmap, available in the coming months.

First try making pinhole exposures out in the desert 🏜️ #photography #nature #pinhole #solarography #joshuatreenationalpark #california

Spent my day on public land in solidarity with NP protests nationwide #clevelandnationalforest

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

Finally got around to watching this beautiful and important film today. Timely and highly recommended. #soundscapeecology

Massive thanks to @altnps.bsky.social for all you are documenting 🌲

Thanks earth.fm 🫶🏻

A binaural recording from my recent trip to #deathvalley. Can’t wait to return for an extended #fieldrecording trip 🏜️

A #bts shot from badwater basin last week #deathvalley

#fieldrecording in Death Valley the other day. Can’t wait to spend some more time there. Hey Bishop 👋🏻 🎧

Paid my respects today. A man said to me, “this is really appropriate given how dense it is, and how many different angles you can look at it” Amen. #davidlynch

Got this in the mail yesterday. Would not have been possible without access to public lands. Thanks to all federal land management agencies for everything you do. #pacificcresttrail #publiclands

Very excited to get the #nagra back today. Massive thanks, Glen! @trewaudio.bsky.social #electronicmusic #tapemusic

This is a sweet Xmas present, thanks for including me in your playlist @earth-fm.bsky.social! Happy holidays everyone 🫶🏻

Last night’s moon in Southern California. Happy solstice everyone! 🌔

Decidedly anthropogenic #soundmap #wip #fieldrecording #soundscape #mojave #windfarm

00:05 press return ⌨️ 🐜 #fieldrecording

Late night catch up while I populate Death Valley waypoints. All water in this one. Manitou River, Crosby-Manitou State Park, MN, Spring of 2021. I’ve used this recording as a noise source in composition as well as a focus and sleep aid :) #fieldrecording #nature #water #soundscape #minnesota #🔊

Also went to IL back in June for the 2024 emergence and still need to edit the recs/photos. Add it to the list of projects incl. sierra 2024 and and 2023 PCT thru hike soundmap #fieldrecording #nature #soundscape #🔊 #hiking #cicadas #sierranevada #soundmap

Another catch-up #fieldrecording post, this time from 2021’s Brood X periodical cicada emergence, taken in the Charles C. Deam Wilderness in southern Indiana. Any #cicada fans out there? #🔊

Gm meet Bishop, my DIY binaural head. Bishop is one of seven recording rigs I took with me while in the field for UW-Madison this past season.

About the three recs. They were taken on my downtime while working for UW-Madison on a bioacoustics research project in the Sierra Nevada this year. Days were spent doing acoustic monitoring for the California Spotted Owl. At night I hiked around taking my own recordings. Enjoy! More to come

Binaural rec number three, last one for the night. An excerpt of dawn chorus

Binaural rec number two on the evening, Bees in a Woodland Clearing 🐝 🎧

I’ll start by playing a bit of catch-up here. Plz enjoy this binaural rec of frog calls w your favorite set of headphones 🐸 🎧

First post :) Follow for #fieldrecording, #electronicmusic, and #naturephotography, in varied sizes, shapes, and configurations. Hello Bluesky!
