I am currently editing a video installation, comprised of footage of an underwater video camera tied to the end of a fishing pole. These tracks will be part of the soundtrack.

This is what I refer to as crafty ambient music, because it is obvious that instrumental craftmanship is emphasized just as much as production techniques. Aligned more with glitch, this ambient music does not rely on spacial harmonics and extremely long tones but focuses on specific textures; balancing field recordings, post production noodling and instrumental works into a carefully composed harmony. 

Frog & Toad Tape

My dad asked me if I could copy a tape to a cd for him. I said sure, what is the tape? He just laughed and said I'd like it. Next time my parents visited he handed me an instructional tape on identifying frog and toad for species found in Iowa. The tape sounds a bit damaged, perhaps by a magnet.

Music Box - You are pretending to be a sea-horse

Music box  by  colepierce

This is a recording from 2007 of my son talking about a music box my wife gave me for Christmas. 

The aquarium style music box contains spinning sea-horses, one of which has a cut out photo of my head 

taped to the sea-horse.
