For A Quiet Moment

Episode 4: The Loudest Sound

For this episode – a return that I hope will see more consistent content coming from me – I’m taking a look at perhaps the opposite of the quietness I chose when naming this podcast. This time, I’m looking at what may just be the loudest sound in the world. But what could it be? Is it a rocket? A bomb? Let’s listen and see.

Episode 3: When An Economy Breaks Down, How Much Is A Song Worth?

A month ago a friend forwarded me an email. A proposal had been put to him; a proposal that concerned me, too. The person who contacted us made a vague overture towards purchasing the rights two albums of my music, basically buying it to add to a professional library.
My instinct said no, but I found myself wondering: Why wouldn’t I?

Bonus Episode: Why, Or Why Not Music?

This bonus episode features a piece read by Melbourne-based writer Lucy Callaghan, titled "Why, Or Why Not Music?". The show also features a soundtrack by Melbourne-based musician Other Joe, and you can find more of their music here: https://soundcloud.com/josephbuchan https://other-joe.bandcamp.com/

Episode 2: Mysterious Magpie Mimicry

Today’s episode, Mysterious Magpie Mimicry, is the second part of a pair of episodes – part one, Pleasant Pheasant Phonies, was focused on the Lyrebirds of Australia, and once again, this episode will look at the stranger side of avian life – or more specifically, a bird that does things, with sound, that are unexpected, and unusual.

Episode 1: Pleasant Pheasant Phonies

For this first episode, I’ve prepared a story focused on the stranger side of avian life – or more specifically, a bird that does things, with sound, that are unexpected, and unusual.
This will be the first part of a pair of episodes – and I’ll be following up with another on the same theme for next time.
