I grew a doc beard, not shaving until this show is wrapped. Is today the day I get to shave..? Maybe! We’re soooooo close! #filmsound #mixing #documentary #sounddesign

My gear closet is such a mess that I am scared to even try looking for my boom pole in there.

Rewatching Nine Inch Nails’ utterly iconic Woodstock 94 set. One for the record books. Played against expectations, unhinged, imperfect, theatric, and cathartic. All the things that rock n roll should ideally be.

Shaved a pound off by going with separate windshields and lighter cables. 15-17h rec time with stereo phantom power @ 24/96. #fieldrecording

A tip from my ultralight backpacking days: repack your grip tape for #fieldrecording outings. 1/2” PVC pipe is great for this. You REALLY aren’t gonna need a whole roll of gaffer tape out there. (If you do be sure to send a picture 🤣)

I just backed MILESHIPS - A Narrative Art Book by Ian McQue on Kickstarter! kickstarter.com/projects/ianmc…

Never used the Merlin bird ID app. Holy crap is it good. It’s truly Shazam for birdsong. ID’d an Oak Titmouse and Warbling Vireo in some parabolic recordings from yesterday morning. #fieldrecording #naturerecording #sounddesign

Early test recording for my Ultrasquish sound library (camera audio). asoundeffect.com/sound-library/… #soundlibrary #sounddesign #gameaudio #soundeffects

The Southern Reach trilogy was a big source of inspiration for the Audio department of Still Wakes The Deep. Its vivid descriptions of a supernatural event that has twisted nature, even in sonic terms, are profound.

I suggest that this is the most informative, vulnerable, and relatable episode of Play Watch Listen to date. Congrats to the Zau team, and what a creative inspiration Abubakar Salim is. youtu.be/mjlIsw5nFdU

QCing a final mix candidate of this science documentary and all I want is a huge bowl of green garlic-stuffed olives RIGHT NOW. #filmsound #stressEating #sounddesign #mixing

Battery life test commencing with some backyard dawn chorus. Bummed that, despite recent advances, batteries are still so heavy; even with a carbon fiber tripod this ORTF rig is still 5.6 lbs. #fieldrecording #sounddesign

They will never be cleaner than this, so here you go. #fieldrecording #sounddesign

The 'Hymn to Nikkal', represent the oldest known substantially complete notated music

It is 3,400 years old, dating back to approximately 1400 BCE.

This is how it sounds

Removed another rotting planter box. Once again, afterwards, it’s all back stretches and Ibuprofen. :-/

Friday, yo.

Setting up some lavs in my peach tree to capture leaves in the wind (extreme close up). My and that mockingbird are gonna have words, though. #fieldrecording #sounddesign

Today’s daily practice was taking the quad ORTF rig out for some dawn chorus action. Sparse frogs and a little creek, too. #fieldrecording
