122: The Forest
A slow circular conversation that occasionally paraphrases Shakespeare and Chekhov, to create a lamentation to work, aging and trying to talk to those around you. Featuring a binaural recording of a walk in Long Island City, Queens, and a quintet of midi-based instruments.
Is it a metal block, a helicopter overhead, the ocean flows in our veins, a single leaf without context, the hushed sounds of people talking, time travel is real, I am standing beside you, who are you? You breathe in, you breathe out, a long slow tone.

120: Under the CCP
A ten minute binaural recording standing under the Cross County Parkway, with traffic singing above, a few cars passing in front, a sneeze, and the occasional sound of pages turning (I was reading Motherhood by Sheila Heti during the recording).

119: Walking home from the mall
A binaural recording of a walk from Cross County Mall to our house in Mount Vernon. An hour long walk through lower Westchester County, in the suburbs of New York City where my wife and I have lived for the last four years. I refereed to it as the Cross Country Mall in the recording… a verbal mistake I have made over and over again. A quick note: the next couple of episodes of the pod are going to focus on field recordings in the NYC region. A sort of tribute to the 13 years I have lived here as I get ready to move to San Diego later this summer.
