I don't want to think about that anymore 11 March 2026 I love false spring, it's been healing to see the park fill up with people, to hear the birds singing, to have my windows open all day long. I took my first field recording yesterday morning while reading my book, sipping my coffee, and sitting on a bench in Prospect Park. https://jakewel.ch/my-life-lately/2026-03-10!Field_recording-First_spring_morning_on_a_bench_in_Prospect_Park.m4a (note, special.fish auto-formats the date in this with the time tag. Copy the URL directly to your address bar to listen!) – I've been struggling with The Grapes of Wrath, not because it isn't good, but because I see my own family in the Joads. Their simple, naive innocence as rural folks. It makes me feel so sad. It can be hard to get through, sometimes. My family comes from people just like them. Poor farmers and ranch hands from the dusty south who left nothing behind. 10 March 2026 The interactive web music video/live performance I built for Ritt Momney is out now!

I think it could be a great way to stop and listen and notice the world around you. NTS has great field recordings too nts.live/infinite-mixtapes/field-recordings @sylvester loved reading your description of the leaves of the lemon tree on your shade. ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
