Hello All,

So, many of you have been asking to hear longer samples of my nature sounds that I offer at Moodstreams.com.  Well, I've just added a free ten-minute nature sound compilation track, that you can download from the website.  Instead of being limited to the 20-second samples that you hear on the soundtracks page, you get about a minute-and-a-half of seven different nature recordings, so you get a better idea of how they sound overall.  The samples fade smoothly into one another, so I think it makes a rather good relaxation or meditation soundtrack in and of itself, if you're looking for a short break in the middle of the day. And the best part is that it's FREE, so download away. You can access this download either from the home page, or the soundtracks page.  Look for it on the left sidebar, inside the blue box.

In other news, I am going to Alaska Sep. 18-28!  I'll hopefully have loads of time in the pristine wilderness of Alaska to make some recordings of nature sounds.  I'm pretty excited about the prospect of recording in a place where I don't have to worry about dealing with trains, motorcycles, distant traffic and other annoyances that plague me as a nature recordist in my home state of Massachusetts.  Let's pray it doesn't rain the entire time.   Also, how do you all feel about meditating to the sound of hungry bears chasing nature recordists?
