Rain, projects coming home to roost in the form of necessary duties, synchronous bird call and power tools, melody fragments across time.
-
Layered field recording with open-air and contact mics placed on the St. Johns Bridge - which connects the North Portland neighborhood of St. Johns to the Northwest Portland mega-park Forest Park. The overall structure and feel of this episode comes from a conversation with Liz Smith, resident of St. Johns, business-booster extraordinaire, vocalist, and all-around good person. Snippets of that conversation pepper between the second and third movements of this music-heavy episode. Infinite thanks to Liz for her time and conversation between ice and rain showers!

A sound piece centered around 2 days of field recordings at Kelley Point Park, in North Portland, Oregon. This is the part of the St. Johns neighborhood where the Willamette River and the Columbia River converge. It is currently a city park bound by these two rivers on each side, ringed by ports and their industries. Day 1 captured a train loaded with grain unloading into a silo, while another part of that silo filled a ship on the Willamette. Day 2 was at daybreak as a tugboat pushed a crane from the Columbia, past Suave Island, then up the Willamette.
