About Me

Field recordings are difficult. field recordings are hard. Field recordings are best when they come from my backyard. I recommend taping people when they are unaware they are being taped. Not in bathrooms or in compromising positions but when they are most honest and unselfaware. I also like asparagus and sauteed kale.
