about

When Sean and Lindsay and I stopped to record that little pond at Boston Corners, we didn’t expect much. “Get off that man’s land,” Sean even worried. This was clearly a piece of private property. Still, I did want to show off my quest to my friends. “Let’s just drop the hydrophone in, plug in the speaker, and see if there’s anything interesting.”

At first it was the usual crackles of breathing plants, that primeval sound of nature, but then there was some stridulation. Bugs rubbing parts of their bodies against other parts. And one pwoof mystery sound. Frog or fish I reckon.

Just under three minutes there came a section with shape, beauty and form. Beginning middle and end, but still a fragment of eternity.
