Hey all, Fil here. Excited to share The Wind with you. I’ve been working on it for about a year, spending a lot of time outside listening to the sound of the wind blowing through the trees and a lot of time listening to music and language with a similar amount of detail and wonder. As you’ll hear in the Prologue, I moved up to the mountains early this year and built a desk out in the woods where I’ve been writing and recording the show.
After sitting at the desk, I typically come home and sit in this little cedar sauna and listen to music, podcasts or audio art. So I wanted to take this space to list some of the stuff that inspired this show.
Belt Buckle - Mystery Show • Running After Antelope - Scott Carrier / Home of the Brave • Ascent to K2 - Joe Frank • Have you heard George’s Podcast? • HowSound • Voicing - Constellations • No Title - The Allusionist • Cowboy Crossroads • Where the World Begins • Native Film Talk • Bellwether + Talkgroup • Field Recordings - And I’m sure I’m forgetting some.
Lastly a huge thanks everybody who helped get this show off the ground: Erica Wirthlin, Joey Lovato, Lauren Baker, Sierra Jickling, Em Jiang, Emily Pratt, Mark Nesbitt, Eleanor Tullock, Mike Corbitt, Sam Greenspan, Anjeanette Damon, Anton Anger, Luka Starmer, Dallas Taylor Sam Schneble Casey Emmerling and Soren Begin at Twenty Thousand Hertz, everybody who came over from Van Sounds and so many more.
Thank you for being here, subscribe and review if you’d like, and remember to listen closely.
