It's the third entry on that page
i have lots of frog recordings. the great swamp (as it's called) in nj is a goldmine of frog sounds. (a frogmine?) -many different species; a wall of sound of different species of peepers.
okay, i actually thought that -so he's beyond the 128 anything...but the main wfmu stream is now available in aac and so compressed, but it does sound better than the mp3.
When I was helping my mother after her surgery, even the retention pond (flood protection, which was beforehand an urban creek upstream) had ample amounts of amorously announcing amphibians, especially in the spring. Outside of this freeze spell, I find tree frogs everywhere, even in the door handle to my office door.
thinking of Kenzo reminds me of Olivia (because if you like the KenzoCacophony you'd like the RavioliCacophony) which reminds me that i never submitted a recipe for her "cooking show" which...i don't know what she's got up her sleeve! but i may not be listening tomorrow night at a million o'clock anyway.
conversely i've seen turkeys maybe 1/2 a dozen times in my entire life (not counting dead, cooked and mutilated ones) and frogs have been present for all of my adult life.
There are lots of wild Turkeys in boston, I saw them a lot in the fall. They used to be mostly in a couple neighborhoods but this past year I would see packs of them in more heavily trafficked areas. Always worry for them with all the traffic but people seem to be respectful for the most part
it's exciting when i see a turkey, and it's usually just one; but a mother and several (7?) young ones were making their way across my sister's yard when i was there. her yard is 3 acres, almost square, so it takes a few minutes for a family of walking, incidentally grazing birds.
fortunately i saw them before the 3 dogs did and made like it was urgent to get in the house (you know, for treats or something important like that) and they never spotted the birds. when they came back out though they knew the turkeys had been there,that's for sure.
haha! turkeys don't make me uncomfortable, though they sure are funny birds. on the outskirts of flagstaff in the fall, they love to park themselves in the middle of the roads. but yeah, these coils look intricate.
not anymore, though i lived there for 20 years. i moved to portland, OR a few years back. it really is a nice town, and i do miss it from time to time.
drones are creepy; centipedes are creepy; women who talk like little girls are creepy; photoshopping human eyes onto dogs' heads is creepy...tiny intricate coils? vapes? creepy??
oh well, everyone's got their thing!
my only point is that i don't get it! i'm disgusted by the idea of humans drinking cow milk; i'm sure most americans would be perplexed by that, and think i'm weird!
-but for me, as i've always been intrigued by tiny detail; especially hand-created tiny detail - i can't relate...but still it makes sense.
i can't think of what but i know i've seen something non-animal that had tiny stick-like or wire-like...or hair-like things connected to it, moving around, that creeped me out because it reminded me of a spider.
i see where you're coming from, coelacanth∅. i don't know, human brains are strange; the most mundane thing can send a shudder up my spine, and unfaze another. kind of fascinating how that works.
nah gloomsday! i think most people are freaked out by spiders. my mother had (has?) a friend, a small to average size female hairdresser, who was married to a big, loudmouth, football-lovin', reggae-hatin' he-man. who do think had to be called in from the other room to do the killing when a spider was in the bathroom?!
hahaha βrian i was thinking the same thing. i'm pretty repulsed by the idea of drinking cow milk, myself. but cheese :'( i can't help it--i love it. ah, the mental gymnastics~
coelacanth∅, i always get a smug laugh out of stories like that one.
Hey Jesse. I have a friend here in FL who takes natural field recordings and manipulates them w/ some synth accoutrements. He also does some dirty noise techno. Can I send you some of his work? I dig it, and I believe you'd enjoy it as well. Thanks! (actually there's a glut of artistic talent here, but his work fits your program like a glove).
"In a classic and seminal paper by Turnbull (1973) (all Arachnologists should read that paper!) there are a series of estimates of spider densities in a range of habitats – and these are estimates for all spiders, not just a single family. The lowest estimate he provides is from work in a Polish meadow where densities of 0.64 spiders per square metre were reported. The highest density was 842 spiders per square metre in an English pasture. Turnbull averaged all previous published estimates and ended with a mean of 130.8 spiders per square meter. Turnbull does point that it is kind of a meaningless statistic, except that it helps us tackle the question of interest: Is there always a spider within three feet of you…?
So…. in most “natural” habitats, I think it is true that you are always within three feet of a spider."

well, i gotta head out to a work dinner with some out-of-town folks from sydney. i'll catch the last 13 minutes tomorrow in the archive. thank you for the tunes, jesse! thanks for chatting with me, friends. have a good evening.
Actually, my place has a massive spider population and I'm thoroughly desensitized. We've got recluses out the wazoo. When I reach into a basement box, I do little more than shake it so that any critter living in it will run to an opposite corner.
My decision on spiders is if they stay away from my bed or desk, they can do whatever they want. I need them to keep the other pests at bay. They are our friends.
i'm fairly well desensitized to spiders outside (where a lot of my work is) but have a different attitude inside. whether i leave it be or not depends on where and what species. i very rarely kill one, but i put it outside. (which probably kills it this time of year, but...)
i know someone who's life was transformed for the worse for at least 8 years because of a recluse bite. no thank you. any spider that MIGHT be a recluse dies.

...so now the 128aac, which sounds noticeably better, is available but i guess not on the drummer stream? (except probably Kenzo's show)
