Bramble
2024 - ongoing
The outskirts of Kansas City are incredibly rich in wildlife and produce wonderful field recordings. Transmitting indoors an audio feed of the surrounding wilderness is a pair of omni-directional microphones in the trees mixed with an angled stereo pair of shotguns, capturing the whine of coyotes, dozens of species of birds, bobcat fights, the yelping of foxes, the munching of deer, spooky wind, the majestic lightning storms of the midwest, and, unfortunately for the microphones themselves, a hailstorm.
Hydrophones dropped into neighboring local lakes and rivers produce intermittent surprises as well.
