Inviting submissions by recordists of nature sounds for
inclusion in a not-for-profit multimedia show based on
Jack Kerouac's "On the Road." (Recordings of ambient
sounds of specific locations requested in separate post.)
I'm a composer in NYC organizing the performance.
Recordings of specific sounds mentioned in Kerouac's
novel, and from various locations mentioned in the
book, will be mixed together and played during the
performance, which will also include DJ/VJ, jazz combo,
dance, and film clips, and other live performers.
Contributors will be acknowledged in publications by the
project. (Anonymous contributions welcome also.)

from the list below. The list is divided into three sections:
nature sounds, animal sounds, and man-made sounds.
