My second video piece Ice on Trees was recorded March 12 when the ice coated the trees and there was quite a drop in temperatures at the end of the winter period. youtu.be/pGtyU1KXl-I?...

Text on image reads NAISA Sound Byte 21 - The Wetland Project, an Earth Day Tradition.  The image background has the repeated letters earth spelled out in green and red font and continuously with no spaces over three lines.  As a result different words are formed.

Made my first soundscape video. The visual context does provide some clues for the ear. The beating of the wings of the Roughed Grouse are best enjoyed with headphones or full range speakers. youtu.be/LdduBhMWBKk?... #FieldRecording #SoundArt #Naturesounds #soundscape #acousticecology

Annea Lockwood shares why recording river sounds matters to her on today's edition of Making Waves. Her river sound map works, like the one for the Hudson River, anticipate by decades current interests in sound mapping. Listen at wavefarm.org/wf/archive/d... #soundscape #fieldrecording
Composer Annea Lockwood is wearing headphones on a river shore. She is leaning back against a sloping concrete wall that curves into a river, possibly a place to put in boats.  She is wearing a black T-shirt and is smiling.

I have a new interactive web piece running that arranges ice recordings by temperature. Welcome your comments and feedback. Thanks to #OntarioArtsCouncil for their support and #kyleduffield for web development.
Title Ice Tuner. Radio dial tuner with temperature readings instead of frequency values.
