Sept. 21st, 2006 - Shorewood Nature Preserve

On my Trek01 my starting point was Shorewood Nature Preserve. With mics in hand, I hiked down a large hill and stopped at a clearing where I sat and listened. The sound was phenomenal, I felt like I could’ve been transported into the jungle. Every sound made sense to me: trees blowing in the wind, leaves rustling, birds chirping louder than I’d ever noticed them to, waves crashing on the shore a ways down the path. I even started smelling damp, humid smells, the kind you’d smell in the rainforest. Every tree I touched felt alive, like it was pulsating. Moss was spreading over everything and it all looked surreal. There was something I couldn’t place, something that I hadn’t felt for a long time. It was the joy I felt when I was somewhere that I felt like I belonged, recording and making art. It was such a beautiful experience. I can’t help but wonder if places like this are common to artists when they are doing something they love. Will I feel this way about somewhere on my next Trek?
