Sam--Thank you for visiting my new page. I am delighted you found it so quickly--and with your kind words. I figure that butterflies deserve voices--and this is my modest effort to provide them.

That Copenhagen skating tradition is a very fine one, and I'm glad to hear that butterflies will join in. I'll watch for it! Thank you.

I created this album to be shared. I created it for you to enjoy. If you're the demonstrative type, you can show your enjoyment with an e-mail, a scrobble of the song on last.fm,

using a song (with attribution) in a video or podcast, a tag when you use the song, a tag in your weblog if you are listening to it, or even a tweet.

I created the songs here with a software synthesizer called Sawcutter 2.0, through which I processed a number of samples I created, including the following:

--crystal being tapped with a mallet

--an ocarina

--my voice

--me whistling

--creating a musical instrument from a diet root beer bottle filled with water to create a woodwind sound

--a stylophone

and many other devices.

I took the pictures here with simple point-and-shoot cameras, including in particular the Argus DC-5185. All the images are were taken in Collin or Dallas County, Texas, in places suburban and rural. The photos are unenhanced, except for the Grass Skipper, which looked so cool with a little Holga effect.
