rest peacefully

Today, I re-post the Dogumentary in loving memory of Danielle Smith, who is now chasing tennis balls, eating hearty kibbels, and basically being a good girl in a better place. Dani is survived by her amazing family; Jackie, Joel, Jenn, and Jake Smith. Dani and her sister Hannah saw less and less of each other over the years as they both lost strength in their once overpowering legs. Dani was an integral member of the Smith Squad, and will not be forgotten by anyone who knew her soft, brown fur, warm heart, and tender licks.

i just found some resonance!

(A DIALOUGE)

my friend and roommate sitting in the living room: "Oh man! I hear another tornado siren. That's the third one today..."

me: "Oh no, that's not a tornado siren, its the first track of this album I just bought that's playing in my bedroom!."


Keith Fullerton Whitman turned raw guitar tones into what sounds like distant tornado sirens. The tones produced on this album are on a totally different register than my ears are used to. I feel like I can swallow this music and blow bubbles out of it.

glass onion

I was the only one home so I assumed that since I wasn't talking, watching TV, or listening to music, I was surrounded by near-silence. Shortly thereafter, the heat shut-off (I wasn't conscious of the emitted sound until it shut off) and another layer of sound was peeled away. My computer then went into sleep mode, and I was one more step closer to silence. I understand that there really is no way to rid my world of all sounds, but those quiet moments in my day are very important to me and probably lessening by the day.

spring break 06!?

plah!!

This is a recording from my living room made this summer. I forgot about these sounds until tonight, and am now really excited about rediscovering them. What you'll hear is almost a straight recording with only a few minor edits. Maybe it's more fun if you don't know exactly what i'm doing.
