You know what, when you get a compliment from one of your mentors, you feel
like you become a thousand feet tall. There is no one any better than you
Bernie and I draw enormous respect for your work and commitment to what you
have done for decades now.
I just recorded the soundscape and spoke the words, Jeff put it all togethe=
r
for which he has a tremendous talent, not just for this but everything else
I have heard from his work...
Again thank you...
I just heard that the Alaska coalition and the nature conservancy are using
this 3 min segment to fight the continuing threat of drilling in the refuge=
.
Lets hope it works :-)

>From one who has spent time with you there in the field, Martyn, I
want to add my two cents to the bravos! This is a lovely piece.
Poetic. Lyrical (both sounds and narrative). And very touching. It's
difficult to express the intimacy we often feel when connected to
that special world. But you've captured it in tone of voice, choice
of words, and the textures used to support the illusion. Kudos to you
and Jeff.
Your avid student,
Bernie
