This was a fun adventure! I packed up a battery powered synth (softpop) and amp, and my binaural mic and hiked out to Hidden Lake in Putnam County, NY with David who brought a hydrophone and some speakers along with his clarinet and iPad.
We made some sounds inspired by what was happening below the surface*. The results are strange and surprising!

*Mostly plants photosynthesizing and an insect called the lesser water boatman. (Check out David’s book to learn more.)
This month’s podcast sees the return of Art Labriola!
Art’s last appearance, podcast #27, featured Art playing his modular synthesizers. This time Art plays pedal steel guitar – processed by his modular synths!
It was great to reconnect and play with Art again, I look forward to hearing where he goes with his hybrid pedal steel + modular set up!
