Switching Title

This Places recording is from August of 2024 on the final morning of camping in the area with my family. I put the recorder on the lake's shore and went and sat on a nearby bench through sunrise while reading and listening to birds. This is the life!

This installment of Cacophonous Revel Radio includes tracks from Reid, Mehreideran, Trumpet Solo, and Time Phobia.

Starting off at Wawa, of course; judging people, of course; and heading to Shenandoah. Of course. Hitting Mary’s Rock the long and busy way. There was ONE cool person on the trail! Intermittent bird reporting: Roughed Grouse, Juncos are back, and some other usual suspects. Thoughts and spoilers after Terrifier 3, and an underscored dream.

I'm in Canada! Can you believe it? Two wild road trips. Enjoy!

This 20th and newly formatted sub-series of Cacophonous Revel includes tracks from Time Phobia, Jen Weisberg, Finally Punk, The Mallard, Trumpet Solo, and Air Fresno.

It’s been a while since I’ve been hiking in Shenandoah National Park, so why not go back in the best time of the year: the fall season. Talking about this current podcast season, verbal mapping, and some natural observations. Totally name-dropping all of the birds I see and hear, and deja-vu. It Tastes more like San Francisco, and cruising back down Skyline Drive.

On this episode of the Places sub-series I string together a few recordings of stops along my first multi-day bikepacking trip along the C&O Canal Towpath this past May. I've enjoyed hearing the bird sounds again, as now it's nice and chilly and bird-sparse where I live. If you want to hear some more journal style recordings, check out Episode 71.

Here we go! A new format for Cacophonous Revel - Spotify got rid of the ability to legally play songs from their catalog, so I was forced to continue the radio show format playing only music I have the rights to, which are my own. In the early days of Switching Title I shared old recordings along with the memories I had creating them, and that's what I plan to smoosh into the new era of the Cacophonous Revel Sub-Series. This inaugural episode includes:

1. Fields of Sublime - Reid May

2. Project from 2016 Part 1 - Reid May

3. Project from 2016 Part 2 - Reid May

4. Swine Flu (Demo Version) - Trumpet Solo

5. Eternal Lies (Demo Version) - Trumpet Solo

6. Hero's Welcome Theme Idea 02 - Reid May

I moved and recorded myself walking a typical walk I did around the neighborhood and surrounding parks over the past four years. For this episode I edited in mostly only the speaking parts, which of course include bird sightings, fall weather, and whatever else popped into my head. I plan to post the entire unedited recording as future "Places" episode, if you are into that sort of thing.

Kicking off Season 4 of Switching Title with a new episode of the Places sub-series over at Wolf Trap National Park. These recordings were made back in April. It's wild hearing the sounds of spring as I type this, now in November.
