Geodata Are Fleeting: Geoscience fieldwork soundtrack

This is a collection of songs about what it's like to collect data about our planet. It's often an expensive and lonely endeavor. Typically, people can either collect one snapshot in time at many locations or monitor changes in time at a single point on earth. Many scientists/engineers, sometimes with the help of robots and animals, have figured out how to observe attributes of the farthest reaches of our planet that others only decades ago have died trying to document or simply traverse. I sit back, watch, and make use of data that comes in from the comfort of my chair, but have an appreciation for what goes into capturing these fleeting moments, which is what this collection of songs is supposed to convey.

Ocean Sounds: Stories about how ocean science has evolved

This is a collection of songs devoted to sounds you might hear in/on the ocean. These songs are supposed to tell stories behind the science of their respective topics and are heavily electronic (transforming the sound of my bass to something very different), sometimes experimental, and sometimes not with percussive or other sounds. The sound samples were graciously provided by members of the ocean and cryospheric sciences communities: Ocean Networks Canada, the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, the JOIDES Resolution's audio library, and Erin Pettit of Oregon State University. The cover art is a photograph taken at an exhibit in the Museum of Science and Industry of Chicago.

Great Lakes: What it feels like to live around the Great Lakes

This is an ode to the Great Lakes (my attempt to show how it feels to live around them). These songs are mostly ambient with drone sounds.
