Since you put it that way:
It was back in winter of 1999. While I was studying wetland hydrology and f=
inishing
up my bachelors degree, I was complimenting my intellectual coursework with=
some
more physical and creative classes consisting of Poekoelan kung fu and Buto=
h
dance. Both of these intense arts had a common thread - the embodiment of =
natural
forms or phenomena.
Anyway, I took advantage of the media loan center and the audio lab on camp=
us and
checked out a tape deck and some mics and went out and recorded and put tog=
ether
a CD of ocean waves, so I could have some nice natural music to dance to - =
and
that's how it all started.
So now several years later, I'm working full time here in Portland Oregon a=
t a
nonprofit doing community education on water conservation for the water bur=
eau and
putting all my free time into my nature sound recording obsession.
I stumbled across the Nature Sounds Society a couple years ago and attended=
their
two workshops at Whiskeytown where I met many super techno nature geeks (ak=
a
nature sound recordists) kind of like me. It was there that I learned abou=
t this yahoo
group.
I have been enjoying recording, and editing, and searching for natural soun=
dscapes to
put on CD, but nothing is in shrink wrap yet. I have several examples of m=
y
recordings posted on my new webpage, and I expect to put a bunch more up ov=
er the
next few weeks. It's nothing fancy, but check it out if you want at:=20
