Not too long ago I visited Niagara Falls State Park. It was a very cool experience but what truly moved me were the sounds I heard as I walked the campus. Listening to the falls, helicopters, the murmurings of passersby, birds and insects putting my spirit into a state of relaxation.
This orchestration of nature clashing subtle notes of urban presences moved me so much that I thought it would be a cool idea to record these sounds and share them with you.
Episodes like this one are good to play in the background while you relax or right before you head to sleep because there is a good amount of natural white noise in this one.

The good thing about technology is that creating content instantly or on the spot doesn't just apply to mobile photography. There have been countless times in the past that I've listened to a friend go off about something they're passionate about and wished could have recorded that.
This is one of those episodes. While casually conversing with L8NYTE about blockchain, I stopped him and asked, "Can I record this?".
In this episode L8NYTE talks Blockchain, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Aragon, Tim Draper and Executive Order 13772.

I pray everyone is heathy and safe.
New York is changing, rapidly I might add. I can say Old New York and if you live here, you’d think I was talking about 2019.
For the last 5 years or so I’ve been recording the ambient sounds of New York. It’s been awhile since I put out one these soundscapes. This recording is a few years old. My plan was to amass like 52 of them and release an episode every week. But since things are changing so fast, New York isn’t going to sound like it used to for a very long time.
In this episode I’m sharing the sounds of Time Square. It’s a good listen. For some, it may help even help them sleep.
I just want to say thank you to the folks that are heading over to Apple Podcast to rate the show. Every time someone does that it helps put the show in a better ranking and helps us grow the audience. Your kind words and support are much appreciated, thank you.
Alright boppers, I’m outta here…
Be Safe
