I'd like to know more about the life and times of Oswald Harland, an English master who taught at West Leeds High School for Boys. There's a link to the information that I've assembled so far but there are many gaps and some unresolved queries. Heroism and tragedy.

I'm excited to share a collaboration with Genelec. It's a min-documentary and nature album called Redwood Resonance. You'll hear stories of my adventures exploring the soundscapes of ancient trees, and actually climbing into the canopy! youtu.be/WIkO6KGPLOs?... @sempervirensfund.bsky.social #Redwood
