Winter Solstice

January 2013

Winter has fallen upon the Shenandoah Valley, and 2014 is fast approaching. To commemorate the occasion, I created a sonic reflection of the year's journeys.

[Audio track available on SoundCloud] The brief transition from autumn into winter is stark, concise, and profound. These seasonal harmonies made a great opportunity to experiment with film.

Winter made itself known proudly with a large snowstorm. It was oddly blissful. I love the insulating effect snow has on sound. There's nothing more tranquil than walking around a half-abandoned town in the middle of the afternoon taking pictures during a light snowfall.
