Ballard Rain
Dug up this old recording I made back in 2005 (30 August) of some heavy rain. I was living over on 20th at the time in a quadroplex (fourplex) type building. Recorded in the tiny back courtyard. I used my Audio-Technica mic and probably one other (it’s in stereo).
Ballard Rain [Ogg Vorbis format]
Ballard Rain [mp3’s still suck]
You get maybe 20 seconds of this 28+ minute recording as a taste. Hope you have fun.

Studio Bowls
I’ve been playing around with some stainless steel bowls in my studio. Here are a couple of random outtakes.
This first sample is from a clean recording with no processing.
- Bowls in Studio [ogg vorbis format]
- Bowls in Studio [lame (mp3) format]
Here you can hear me playing with and free-form-manipulating the harmonics.
This second sample is a recording made through the Line6 Pod Farm using Rotary Drum + Horn, Adam and Eve, and a Compressor.
- Bowls in Studio [ogg vorbis format]
- Bowls in Studio [lame (mp3) format]
I especially like the echo-like effects I am able to get (without any echo used).
Love to have your thoughts on the matter.

Darien & Michelle Exchange Vows
Here is a quick and dirty audio file of my brother and his new wife exchanging their vows. I appologize for the production quality, but I wanted to get this posted right away.
Darien & Michelle Exchange Vows [mp3 – crappy but popular format]
Darien & Michelle Exchange Vows [Ogg Vorbis – compressed with love]
Darien & Michelle Exchange Vows [FLAC – CD equivalent]
If you need a decent (and free) media player for the better sounding oggs or flacs, I recommend VLC (which you can get here).
How’s that tickle your fancy?
