Devoted to the pleasure of listening to interesting sounds, each piece immerses the listener in a unique soundscape.

The format is simple: 10-20 second introduction and conclusion surround a two minute soundscape. The tone is light, upbeat, and sometimes humorous. The pieces can be used in any order, individually or as a series.

The pieces generally fall into these categories:

Nature sound (Summer Insects, Spring Peepers, Gualala Frogs, Thai Dawn, Kauai Birds)

Electronic fantasy (Can of Worms, Ice Drip, Inner Skin, Pink & Yellow, Wind Theory, How do mushrooms know when to grow?)

Acoustic fantasy (Jazz from Enceladus)

Urban soundscape (Yoyogi Park, like it's 1999)

Listening-in-a-hurry (Bach Preludes & Fugues all at once, Wagner's Tristan in three minutes).

Some feature mock scientific explanations (Wind Theory & Jazz from Enceladus).

The series was created as a podcast and has generated an enthusiastic following on several continents. New episodes will continue to be available on PRX. Hide full description
