Everything Sounds

Skateboarding is an extremely visual activity for participants and spectators. However, the rhythm and sounds created through skateboarding are extremely important to the sport. A music producer called "Wasaaga" and his friend Brad decided to record the sounds of skateboarding and use them to create music that utilized their recordings of skateboarding sounds.

Sounds can help to define places and times in our lives. George and Craig graduated from Indiana University in 2009 and have distinct memories about campus life in Bloomington, Indiana. IU is where their interest in sound and radio developed, so they decided to enlist the help of Norbert Herber's class to share their current college experiences through sound. The results capture a place that is familiar, but evolving for former residents and representative of the spirit of the University for those who still call it home.

As we approach the end of 2013 we wanted to take a moment and listen back to the past year. It's been a good one. We joined up with @muleradio, entered Season 3, celebrated 100k and 200k followers on SoundCloud, made radio with @herebemonsters, @youre-us, The Memory Palace, @maxowens and @simonjohnnewton and never forgot the importance of sound.

A special thanks to @lee-sparey for allowing us to remix and use his song 'Electrode.' Listen to the original version here: https://soundcloud.com/lee-sparey/electrode

Thank you for listening, sharing, enjoying and taking part. It's been an incredible year. Have a happy, fun and healthy end to 2013 and we'll see you on the other side.

All our best,

@georgedrakejr and @CraigShank
