Welcome to the 2017 Muddy Boots Podcast/Sound Painting series. A variety of theme based episodes will be added throughout the year. Some wonder whether this series is a Podcast disguised as a Sound Painting or if it's a Sound Painting disguised as a Podcast. I invite you to tune in and decide for yourself.

Muddy Boots will wander where sneakers never will, moving on the back roads through the backwoods and to the forgotten cracks of our imagination. Tune in to hear a patchwork of sounds, snippet, and song; field recordings from wherever, the random whimsical, and the rare, and not-so-rare.

With that said, Muddy Boots attempts to weave threads of sound and song; a sound painting is what I like to call it. Intertwined throughout are artisanal and anachronistic cuts, film clips, one-off sounds, folktales, cut-ups, literary snippets and other rarities. The intent is to impart a loose-knit story within the playlist in order to provide the listener with the opportunity to marvel at what musician Robin Williamson refers to as “the sheer unspeakable strangeness of being here at all.”

There’s something to be said for radio – streaming or the good ol’ radio waves – being a vehicle to journey into a sonic wonderland. Lend an ear and embark on a voyage. . . Ta-Ra-Ra-Boom-De-Ay!! Hide full description
