Sound Journal

Installment three from our island Hobo who continues to get smooth wave rides all along the sandy coastline of Kauai. Not feeling the urge to talk with strangers, the Hobo added old TV sound clips to this episode along with his home made synth music. Plans for the Surfmonk Church of The Waves is still in the works but all followers are being asked to begin the long process of removing all excessive items from their lives in order to join the Hobo in his surf bus in Hawaii. Coconuts will be the food source while music making and wave riding will fill in the remainder of these long tropical winter days.

Second in a series of sound gatherings from Hawaii, where our little Hobo is encamped for the winter employed as Wave Hunter. He is slowly opening up and discovering once again that people are actually not that scary and are kind of interesting to talk to. There are lots of Roosters crowing in the backgrounds because of the hurricane that hit Kauai in the 1992, which released all the chickens to the wild, never to be domesticated again. There's whispers of the Hobo Church rising soon, wherein all you cleverly seduced listeners will sell everything you own, fly to the island and take up surfing and music making under the guidance of the Surfmonk. Liquid refreshments will be offered to those who don't catch the prescribed number of daily waves, or create one song a day. Heh. Heh.

Sound Journal 8

First episode from Dan's winter surf trip to Kauai. Find a quiet spot. Apply headphones. Enjoy experimental sonic manipulations via synth pad. Hear interviews with lost souls. Get a surfer's perspective of sound art after spending hours bobbing around in big surf 400 yards from shore. Sharks and drowning are not uncommon themes of thought. Pretend you are on a beach. The sun is warm. All else but sound is gone.

Those subscribers who listened intently to episode 6 will now be sufficiently mesmerized for further indoctrinations by the Hobo. Please place headphones or ear buds on for the full hypnotizing effects of his minimal techno tracks and assorted sound art pieces. Full compliance by listeners will result in a luminous experience filled with relaxation and bliss.

Our quiet hobo has been studying electronic music on Pandora and discovered a new genre called Minimalist Techno, so prepare yourself for longer, more subtle riffs. He does request that you listen with headphones to help induce a more trance-like state. Once in a trance he hopes to convince you that his music is wonderful and great and that you will become a cult follower of his podcast. The remaining pieces are simply filler noise and the cast ends with a memorable song by the late, great Hazel Dickens. Lets hear it for Hazel!

Wild and crazy sound arrangements under the guise of music, conversation with my mother, hang drum, horse wisdom, Kentucky gospel recorded 25 years ago, Sasquatch tales, Shane and Shilo kid tapes, bad movies, bullies, voice changer app, elton john, Obama on guns, and some Amazing Grace under the big oak tree at Pumpkin Run Kentucky.

Train hop to Idaho, more pretty bad music by the hobo, old neighbor telling old stories, mom talking about getting attacked by a bison bull and various pieces of found sound. Kind of like an audio version of the Moonlight Chronicles if you will.
