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!

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 💎

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.
