Americanized

Just to keep any of you who are subscribed to my podcast feed around, here’s a nice little tune from Atomsplit.

D Sazster is also doing a podcast called Project 52, where he releases a song a week. Like what johnathan Coulton is doing over at his thing-a-week podcast.

Sounds of Norway

Aaron Wormus — Thu, 06 Jul 2006 08:20:54 +0000

My recording of music with which the recent eZconference opened, was requested by several people. I just found my USB cable and was able to get download the files and process them.

This was recorded with my iRiver H340 into raw WAV files thanks to the rockbox firmware. The microphone was the standard (noisy) compressor mic that comes with the iRiver. I amplified the volume using Audacity, but other than that no other effects or cleaning up work has been done. If anyone wants the 45mb wav file let me know.

I also don’t know the artists name, so if one of the organizers would comment here, then I’ll add it to the id3 tags of the mp3 file.

Enjoy.

Voices United For America. The Star Spangled Banner

Aaron Wormus — Tue, 16 May 2006 06:39:10 +0000

We created this multi-lingual version of the Star-Spangled Banner to raise awareness of Senate Resolution 458 and House Resolution 793, which state that English is the only language in which our National Anthem should be sung or recited. This resolution was unanimously passed by the Senate and is currently before the House Judiciary Committee.

We find the proposed resolutions inconsistent with a fundamental American right, free speech. It can also be seen as depreciating the rich and diverse cultural heritage of immigrants, the ancestors of many Americans, who founded, developed, and defended this nation. The resolutions fail to recognize that one of the country’s greatest strengths is the diversity of the populace.

Sound Seeing in Stansted

Aaron Wormus — Thu, 09 Feb 2006 15:20:27 +0000

This audio blog post is my first soundseeing tour. Starting when I get off the Ryanair flight from Frankfurt, Germany to Stansted, London.

I’ve done a bit of editing to get rid of the 20 minutes or so that I spent standing in line. My iRiver also doesn’t seem to perform very well while in trains or cars, so I had to cut out a couple seconds of the shuttle ride.

Apologies for the broken sentances, several times I started saying something, then had to stop to avoid drawing undue attention to myself. While an “on-air” cavity search may have made for interesting listening, I was in a bit of a hurry to get to where I was going.

I talk about the “The IT Crowd” show from Channel 4, I’ve watched the first 2 episodes and they are just FANTASTIC. Very funny and full of geeky stuff.

The Podcast that Wasn’t Recorded!

If there is any word that describes my show it’s random and very experimental. This one went all wrong, but here are the show notes anyway.
