For fun, I recorded this using a guitar effects pedal to drop my voice down a bit and do my best Christopher Lee. Great poem, totally deserving of someone creepy like him. Enjoy?

Here is an instrumental song I wrote and RECorded but never did anything with. Enjoy

Ambient; A rain storm slowly builds and passing as tribal drums come to carry you away...

An older ambient track. I downloaded a bunch of samples of rain and thunderstorms. I attempted to recreate the feel of a passing storm, perhaps in an unfamiliar jungle at night. The track is mostly an ambient sound scape, fairly relaxing. Towards the end some tabla and other drums pick up to carry you away...

Some readings just seem kinda fun to add sound effects to

I'll pick up Regular Joe's conditional apology and run with it, at least to acknowledge. But I also agree with the rest: RECords should be put here in order to encourage them to take on a life independent of what your intentions might have originally been for them. They're like children. They're gonna be who they're gonna be. Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, and RECorders gotta RECord.

Golden Aspens Celebrate the Regularity

There are a number of aspens in the yard turning gold for winter. This little grove caught my attention while walking the d-o-g. It seems they are just as excited as we are!

Not sure if this was sunrise or sunset

Shot this on my trip to Kauai, HI

sky, photo, orange

It just looked so beautiful today.

Japanese Maples are my favorite trees ever. They make these awesome canopies that you can just stand under and feel completely surrounded by the twist and turn of its limbs. A perfect place to read a book

Part II of my contribution to the black and white collaboration.

This photo is meant to showcase the other side of Michigan. While we do have a lot of modernized cities and factories, the state is also full of rural areas and forests. I took this in the beautiful Upper Peninsula (which is mainly made up of forests and extremely small towns), on a vacation last summer.

Two rather formidable looking blackbirds in Costa Rica

I'm not sure what kind o f birds these are, but check out those beaks! I wouldn't want to mess eith them. They were sitting on a fencepost for a barbed wire fence that contained some of the ugliest cows I've ever seen.

:)

A photo can't do justice to what the sky was like in the moment. Or at least, this photo doesn't do it justice. But I still love it.

Seagull in the sky

This was taken at Chinese National Day celebrations this year, at the Sydney Opera House

From mushr's comment on jenyffer.maria's picture. Also I love Lean In by D Sol. It's not the entire record, just the part I liked most.

Spooky winter song with theremin, melody harp, and vocals.

I'm hoping this actually uploads, my first ever RECord!

Sorrow bird sketch using traditional media, desaturated and cropped from original hard copy drawing. Thinking of redesigning and or redrawing digitally, adding colored eyes (red, glowing?).

I think the poem and reading this is a response to would be a fun short piece to animate.

Other ideas for further collaboration:
-using Cuspchild's "daydream" record as a background (with the sorrow bird placed in the lower right hand corner)
-additional drawings of sorrow bird for use in a possible animation
-adding color to aforementioned background, altering colored record's saturation for animation purposes (such as panning into the scene at full color, then fading the color out upon the animated arrival of the sorrow bird)

A drawing of a tree

Inspired by the song "All Thoughts Are Prey to Some Beast" by Bill Callahan.

My personal favorite piece of mine.
For well Trees are kinda my thing.
( They keep my inner child going... I climb 'em and Play in forts!! And hello, Oversized Swings hanging from Oaks.... mmm mmm)
Anyways they are one of the greater symbols of LIFE.
In our roots, are our family and love!
Our faith is in our branches
And we are the knobby trunks.. (woop woop)
Our love and faith make us beautiful! =)
<3

@ Work. Bored.

.... the result of that boredom.

My contribution to the "Red" photography challenge

This is a picture I took 4 years ago when I first moved to my new neighborhood. Sadly the tree that these leaves belong to is no longer here.

More fallen leaves

When you miss them on the trees, catch them on the ground!

Dandelions backlit by the sunset ( best viewed on larger size)

Another shot of the dandelions after the sunset turned a little more pink

I took this photo with my Canon T70 for a photography class this past summer. I enjoyed working in a darkroom.

Late fall i believe, see ya in spring (=

A ritual bath with a view.

In Judaism, there is a ritual where one bathes for spiritual cleansingL the mikvah. Probably where baptism comes from. As is the way with Judaism, there is a very specific structure the bath must have.

This picture was taken from the mikvah on top of Masada, an old fort on top of a plateau in southern Israel. It was the last stronghold of Judeans as the Romans conquered them. The Romans built a ramp of dirt and stone to reach the gate. When the Romans busted in, they found only the dead. The Judeans had drawn lots and killed each other rather than submit.

The mikvah there is still kosher according to Jewish law. Some things never change.

This photo was taken yesterday morning (5th Jan 2010 @ 8.05am) whilst I was on my way to work. As the old saying goes "red sky in morning - shepherds warning" and this morning I woke up to find 6" of snow all around. It is still completely beautiful and so very majestic.

Bleeding Heart : Letter 1

These started out as letters to a lost friend and then turned into letters to myself. They might make sense they might not but they are honest.

Letter 1.

One night we discussed, shared, and discovered a kindred soul. A soul and heart that is deep, that it only makes sense that we must feel more to fill the empty pace. I have never met someone that understood my pain, my passion. The emotions that were so consuming, I drowned in their relentless waves. That night I still wasn

This song was used in my short film Before the Funeral. It was at the credits

One of my first piano songs, I recorded. I came up with it on the spot, because I needed a soundtrack for Before The Funeral, so this song pleased me :)

cool weathered wall

I figure this might be usable for a collaboration. Maybe the background of an animation or something. I found this wall in Beijing's Beihai Park.

Fruit out of the bowl. An image manipulation of a photo I took of a sliced orange.

art, doodle, design

The art of detail.

this was an assignment for my 2d design class.
the objective was to demonstrate the use of line as movement.

The wind blew her away. It wasn't a good spot for a spider web, anyway.

Exactly what it sounds like. On a tire swing at night in downtown SF. Quality's not great since the video was taken on a whim but maybe someone can do something fun with it.
It's a little dizzying.

A heart beat

Created this bad boy by placing my voice box against the mac mic. trrryyy it!

This was originally used for the "Where there is Darkness" video

A contribution to HitRECord Corpus

I think this is what Zach was getting at... trying to find that in the statue that resonates as most human...

Gouache in my sketchbook. I don't know what it is but it was in my head I guess. I call it a warg sometimes :P

An experiment in ambient sound scapes. A familiar ringing...

This was just an experiment in creating an ambient sound scape. Somewhat rhythmic, somewhat sweeping, somewhat pulsing. Tune in and zone out.

Holga

one of my favorites.

A little abandoned cemetery I discovered while driving around last year.

Plants in the Sunset

Just me and my camera. I'm not much of a photographer, but I like to get some snaps sometimes.

By the pond in central park near sunset

the light is fascinating here, I think. And the reflections in the water. it was a great place to sit and think, as well as take photos.

Glowing sunsets over the mesas of New Mexico

One of the most amazing things about living in the "Land of Enchantment" is the near-nightly lights show in the sky. This photograph was taken in northern NM on the drive back from CO.

I thoroughly enjoy watching clouds. To me, it looks like many winged and glowing, wispy beings soaring through the sunset...

This was taken in the car on a road trip to Mount Rushmore...

quick snap of the sea, panama city beach, florida

It was nighttime, the sea was angry and moody, so I just wanted to whip out the camera.

beach, sunset, san diego, sunset cliffs

Photo taken last summer at Sunset Cliffs.

Growing up a So-Cal girl, the beach is what i call "my release."
It only takes me 15 minutes to travel west, where i can dip my feet into the pacific and escape the world.
Most my growing up took place along the shorelines.
The water was there to comfort me when i cried, laughed, relaxed or just lived.
I hope that all my beach pictures can emit that "peace of mind."

Slowed down tape samples of heavy rain and voice put through delay and reverb in Garageband. Oooo, scary!

My second electronic song

Originally called "Coo Coo Clocks" but the new name is much better in my opinion! Also sounds better with bass.

A layered remix of Casvellon's reading of Metaphorist's "The Sorrow Bird - Poem" using various other records I thought would fit well with the poem.

My first attempt at audio editing, sorry if it's a little rough. Remixed using Audacity. I can upload the different tracks I used upon request.

One thing I wanted to add, but was having trouble with was an accelerating heart beat in the background (using Jolynne's "Heart Beat-Throat" record).
