Food, Music, and Ramblings South of the Hill
For the last couple weeks I’ve been a bit obsessed with recording my Soprano Sax in various acoustic environments at Fort Miley Military Reservation near work.
I tried as much as possible to include environmental sounds, from birds to skateboarders to passersby.
I think it is an interesting slice of where I am as a Soprano Saxophonist and improvisor.

The band I’m in practices in the East Bay. After a couple horrible driving experiences, I’ve decided to take BART. One of my East Bay living fellow band mates usually picks me up at Ashby BART station on their way to practice.
Sometimes I get there early, or my bandmate is late, leaving me with some time to kill.
Exploring the station, I’ve discovered that there is a spiffy reverb filled underpass on the East side of the station.
Working up my courage, I’ve started playing my clarinet in the underpass.
I had a pleasant interaction with a blind woman towards the end of this video.
Next I need to figure out some way to record my hymns in the underpass. The natural reverb of the underpass is far superior to the electronic processing.
