Really love this :):) I’ve been working on a mapbox-based soundmap and it’s nice to see this golden sphere popping up in my feed rn

Wall test :)

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!

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

That means your favorite hiking trails, campsites, and wild places could be sold off to the highest bidder. Tell your Senators to REMOVE this dangerous provision!

Public land sell off- READ AND TAKE ACTION What is happening? Millions of acres of public lands held for conservation, recreation, and invaluable ecosystem services around the US are at risk to be sold to β€˜any interested parties’. That's righ...

A friend helped make this guide to the public land sell off. Please share with friends, esp people out of the democratic states that this directly effects.

@altnps.bsky.social can you post this map and info?

A map of public lands proposed for selloff eligibility in the Big Beautiful Bill. 250mil acres with a mandate to sell 2-3mil in the next five years. Contact your senators and share this widely, please.

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 πŸ’Ž

Awesome. I forgot to mention that my stats were with Usi Pro/PiP, and without trickle charge enabled

Nice! I recorded 96/24 with the A-10 using a 20k anker last week for four days. The powerbank was at 63% when I came back for retrieval, with the A-10 still full.

I’m excited to explore the idea of image and sound unfurling and developing on β€œnatural time”. It feels good. Here are the images (negative πŸ‘‰πŸ» positive) from that trip.

Made possible by access to public lands 🌲

I’ve been trying to get up there at least every other week just to be. The San Gabriel’s are starting to feel like home field which is pretty cool. Wilderness time is really important for me these days, and I’m grateful for how accessible it is.

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.

Mountain Merries: like Sunday Scaries but instead I’m headed up into the San Gabriel’s tmrw and it’s positive anticipation

This is a really incredible listen, thanks again for sharing. I’d love to learn more about the specifics of his setup and the analysis+post-processing stages. It’s a ton of audio to sift through! Really clean recordings and totally evocative composite soundscapes

I had to look up their call and agreeβ€”it would get to me after a while, too! Could also be a cool recording opportunity of its own πŸ™‚

It’s body sounds for me. What kind of owls are you getting?

Oregon crickets from the vantage of my tent in 2023. As tedious as the editing phase of this project is, it keeps me feeling connected to trail and public lands more generally. Keeping the spirit alive is an act of protest. #fieldrecording
