Delightful bit of technical wizardry here... as well as a good sense of build-up and rhythm. Knowing that all this was from a single second sample makes it even more impressive, but still a fun listen on its own.
A year ago the Public Radio Exchange hosted a "Public Radio Talent Quest" inviting 2-minute entries from across the country from folks who wanted to be the next great public radio host. Thousands entered. Three won. I created this commemorative…
This is inspiring. Thanks for this. I agree, with douglasboyce, there is a rhythm here generated from the spoken word. And about a billion miles from rap!

I am singing/vocalizing audio to accompany short scenes in a film made by an artist friend of mine. She calls it "Pattern Pattern". This segment goes with a snowy scene where shadows move in and out like wolves.

Thanks, Invisible. It could use a kick! Since I've dedicated myself to using only sounds extracted from my radio interviews (made by human voices) I am somewhat limited. Clearly, there's a lot I can do (creating bell tones from overtones, pumping up what low end is there) but using these sounds means I end up pointing to or approaching music. That's what's so interesting to me about the project. I think more it more as audio sculpture than music, but there's a fine line!

very cool collage! Sounds like the soundtrack to a music documentary trailer! And yes, I do wish that I was still living in the jungle! I miss waking up to birds and monkeys in the trees.

Glad you posted this sound byte with "the gospel" as the background music. I love what you did with the montage!!! Good luck in all your future endeavors.

This was one of the draughts for a soundcsape for the launch of Estee Lauder's rather 'Beyond paradise' fragrance.
I think it's better than the one we finally used. I thought it was a bit boring at first but quite like…
Yeah I wrote this with a little help form Dmoneye. Here are the lyrics:
2008 presidential (s)election
It’s the 2008 presidential selection, not election
planned to perfection by media's erection

This is the first cover song I've ever really recorded in my 15 years of playing and recording.
The guitar and voice are each full continuous takes, I didn't want to do comping (copy and pasting), though the vocal harmony parts were done in…
This piece was written for the Vance Quartet, a student clarinet quartet at Oberlin in 2002. My wife is one of the 2 bass clarinetists heard on this recording-- we'd known each other for a few months at this point. The electronic sound collage…
This song made a little splash in the New Music blogosphere back in July 2008. With possibly the first diss rap directed at modern chamber music groups, Hybrid Groove Project (that's DJ Dubble8 and new music saxophonist Brian Sacawa) brought some…

Sparse, sensitive, true. Music is a good place to go when it's hard to talk. Love the lyric about which side of the tree the moss grows on. I learned that navigational trick when I was a kid.
The text on this track comes off a B-side from one of [Putnam Aldrich's](http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putnam_Aldrich) (my great-grandfather) records. He was a harpsichordist, a professor at Stanford, a chain smoker, and apparently had a sense…
I like this so much I have to comment again. It hits me head on. What great work from start to finish. Not a fleck of sound in the wrong place. The idea delivered within? You hit a homerun.

This is inspiring. Thanks for this. I agree, with douglasboyce, there is a rhythm here generated from the spoken word. And about a billion miles from rap!
Very impressive! Amazing how you can get it to sound like a band of marching soldiers from about 2 minutes in. From a swallow. Wow!
I love what you have done on all these tracks and greatly appreciate the info provided under "about" Thanks!
I just read the about section of this song. That's crazy!
Nice rhythmic interplay between the elements. Reminds me of a horse on a cobblestone road!
very nice! you find great rhythms in the language...
I love it! So much beauty get's ignored in those short nanoseconds!
I really liked this one. It was interesing
Thanks, Johnny & Invisible!
Wow this is good very clever well done Jennifer
Respect, totally the other end of the spectrum from me.

HI Jennifer: I'm enjoying your Swallowing Bells. Question: how do you upload a pic of myself? I just joined.
Oh Yeah...this is excellent
Like it, it's begging for a 808 kikdrum bassline.
very cool collage! Sounds like the soundtrack to a music documentary trailer! And yes, I do wish that I was still living in the jungle! I miss waking up to birds and monkeys in the trees.

This made me smile. "I'on't need no hook!" You tell 'em!

Totally dig this.
Wish you were back in the (other) jungle?
Big Iron and Wine fan. Nice work Su! Sweet corners in your voice.
Glu, you never let me down.
DJ, you are an inspiration. There's so much here. It shines.
This is a gas. And necessary. Go Dubble8. Go get 'em.
Thanks, Sudara. I know radio pieces are a little out of "format" for the site, but they're the audio I'm making, so I figure it's fair to share.

Your project deserves wider attention. Keep me and my public radio peeps in mind, you hear?
Magnificent, you. What a wonderful sound. Chirp and hum. You certainly made the most of it!
Your mom wrote it? Recorded with friends? That's the good stuff. Life as it should be. Thanks for uploading!
High quality ambient journey.
Gorgeous.
I like this so much I have to comment again. It hits me head on. What great work from start to finish. Not a fleck of sound in the wrong place. The idea delivered within? You hit a homerun.
This is so frickin' cool.
Athony, your music is so, so beautiful.
Lovely work. Vocals are spot on--excellent presence and depth.
