One Minute Vacations



Below I've placed a link to a page offering an archive of minute-long environmental recordings, called "one minute vacations." It's part of a web site oxymoronically, but all the more appealingly, called Quiet American. Avail yourself of dozens of stereophonic "you are there" recordings of sonically distinctive locations on this planet. This site really has taken me away from my everyday reality more than once, and sometimes that's the most desirable thing of all.

LINK: One Minute Vacations (The site administrator emphatically suggests listening on headphones to the recordings posted there.) The entire enterprise appears to be the vital expression of a soul awestruck and intoxicated with the beauty of sound, one to whom I am increasingly grateful for this offering of love.
