006: Creek Assension
A binaural field recording of hiking the Curecanti Creek Trail near Black Canyon of the Gunnison. The recording starts near the Curecanti Needle, a 700 ft granite spire, and continues as we walked the two mile back up the ravine to the Pioneer Point overlook. It is a strenuous hike with plenty of wind noise. A short intro, I missed the first 500 feet of the hike up due to technical difficulties (I forgot to press record). The episode is about 23 minutes long.

A quick note if you are new to the program, the podcast has evolved over its existence, started as a field recording podcast in 2012 the first 19 episodes feature binaural and stereo recordings from everyday life. After a brief hiatus, it shifted between field recordings and ‘rebroadcasts’ of past work for radio. Since episode 30 the podcast has shifted between field recordings, new compositions and sound collages (with an occasional rebroadcast).
