Winter has fallen upon the Shenandoah Valley, and 2014 is fast approaching.To commemorate the occasion, I created a sonic reflection of the year’sjourneys.

These seasonal harmonies made a great opportunity to experiment with film.

Winter made itself known proudly with a large snowstorm. It was oddly blissful. I love the insulating effect snow has on sound. There’s nothing more tranquil than walking around a half-abandoned town in the middle of the afternoon taking pictures during a light snowfall.
