This was so moving and a reminder that we don’t have to live in a world without rituals, without attunement to the seasons, without ways of calling back to the Earth and offering something of ourselves. We can live an a world teeming with life💫❄️

Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate the premiere of my piece Orchard Chorus with a wassail-inspired performance on Sunday.

And thank you to Nika of Greenpoint Cidery and the Oral History Summer School and Wave Farm for the support of this project.

“As some of the companies still making money in podcasting work to convince audiences that what they really want is just “audio content,” we are asserting ourselves as audio documentarians.”

“Let this be a provocation to those of us who confront complex and necessary truths through the act of storytelling…where we must find ways to maintain our integrity, for our communities to be heard and for true histories to be told.” ❤️

"Imagine those same producers — coming together and whispering the other thing. Not the fear and grief and precarity around our work, but the power of it. The details of how to paint with sound. The ethics of who and how we platform..." @soundfieldsjournal.bsky.social

I like this: "Big podcasting didn’t invent audio documentary, and it can’t kill it either"
