In June 2018, I initiated a project to capture audio field recordings at DeLeon Springs State Park in Florida. It is a location with evidence of human activity dating back 6,000 years, but today it primarily draws tourists and Florida residents for swimming and other forms of outdoor leisure. As of July 2019, I have made 24 visits over a 12 month period and recorded over 16 hours of audio.

To celebrate World Listening Day 2019, I have released via SoundCloud 5 tracks captured at DeLeon Springs during my yearlong field recording project. They will sound best over a good pair of headphones. 

If you enjoy these free recordings, please consider a donation to one of the following organizations:

• Stetson’s Institute for Water and Environmental Resilience, who provided significant support for my project with Chaz Underriner to document the soundscape of our local springs
• Florida State Parks Foundation, who have several programs to ensure everyone has equal access to our state parks

Happy listening & enjoy!
