00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:19,000
It starts to build. It just accumulates as the weeks go by. The sounds get to be too

2
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:27,760
much. Too invasive. Too abrasive. I don't want to hear them. But I'm a sound guy. The

3
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:35,320
audiophile. The guru. Failed musician turned podcast instructor. Recordings without music.

4
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:40,920
Music. The ultimate escape. But there are other ways.

5
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:59,120
Hello? Hey, I think I'm going to head to the desert for a day. Can you take care of the dogs?

6
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:05,440
Oh yeah, I can. Alright, cool. I appreciate it. I'll see you tomorrow.

7
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,160
Alright, see ya. Bye.

8
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:23,480
It rode away from the masses that seemed to ruin everything. The spiral stops out in the

9
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:36,320
open space. Staring into space. I need it to sound quiet. But then I need sounds. The chorus

10
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:46,440
of canine. The serenade of crows. The infectious laughter. The sound of the walk in the woods.

11
00:01:46,440 --> 00:02:01,520
The wind in the ocean. Kicking a ball on the beach. The anticipation of the match starting.

12
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:24,520
The joy of a goal. The music that I want to hear. Then I'm back. I'm reset. And I go again.

13
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:32,280
This was an exercise in soundscaping and honesty. Music by punk rock drum machine and advanced

14
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,280
bass.

15
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:42,280
Been this way for almost all my life. Wasn't born here. Mom and me moved here when I was

16
00:02:42,280 --> 00:03:01,520
5.
