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!

This montage is about making music and what it means to people. It uses comments from a number of classical musicians interviewed for a radio series I record and produce called "The Main Street Sessions". The music is from "The Gospel of Thomas…
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.

Hey Jennifer... Joe Stephens here...
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 song was written after moving into a new apartment. One of the movers put a coin in the door hinge to keep the door open so that he wouldn't have to bother me for keys. I thought it was so cool and smart and sleek and simple. I wanted him…
Great to hear some acoustic instruments at work here in addition to the usual suspects. . This seems to straddle the DJ and "serious music" worlds. You familiar with Mason Bates, a.k.a. DJMasonic? Julliard grad. Writes for orchestra on the one hand, produces great electronica/IDM on the other out in San Fran.

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.

You are a hoot.
This one would make Thom Yorke cry in his beer.
I want to run my hand over this one. Nice and bumpy. Perfectly quirky.

crazy good
Excellent mix!
Monster creative, you are.
Love the clarity in the vocals. Nice, focused sound that gets gritty in all the right spots.
