Two month recording hiatus

Hey errybody,

In one week, I'll be on an aeroplane, pointed toward Delhi, India. I'm working on a travel show for public television called TravelScope. I've been helping them out with post production stuff here and there since March, but this will be my first foray into location sound recording for them. The show is currently shooting the third season, and I'm very excited to be a part of the India trip. Three whole weeks in India!

Since I'll be traveling, I probably won't be able to do any sleep recording, although I will have all the necessary equipment to do so....we'll see. A traveling somniloquy feature might be really fun!

A week after I get back from India, We're going out again to shoot in Guatemala for two weeks. When I get back from all that, I'll try to post a big travel story, with pictures, and maybe some sounds.

In the meantime, here are some recordings from earlier in the year. Bon chance, y'all!

A Family Affair, Part 2

Last night was Ellen's last night staying with me. Boo-hoo! We had a lot of fun during her stay, and it seems awfully short.
She said just one more thing in her sleep, but we can't agree on what it was. If you can figure it out, please leave a comment with your interpretation.


18 Sep 2008 - "Choose your own translation"

A Family Affair, Part 1

My sister is staying with me this week, and I lent her my bed while she's here. It's more comfortable than the futon in the office, which is where I'm sleeping (quite well, actually--it's also where the A/C is!)

She asked me to record her sleep each night, because she told me she also talks in her sleep! And boy, does she!


16 Sep 2008 - "The wedding"


17 Sep 2008 - "Take your trailer to lunch with you?"

The Beard Blog

This blog seems to be less and less about sleeptalk, and more about beardtalk.

...which I just shaved off last week. I left the mustache.

There's been a very mixed response--from "awesome," to "you look like a train conductor," to "ew."

Luckily, I only really care about one opinion. It was my decision, and it's helping me through a semi-tough time. You're welcome to your own opinions, and don't worry about sharing with or offending me. It's just not going to change anything. The 'stache stays.
