EPISODE #250: MONSOON MOOD

, ,

On a monsoon evening, the sky streaked with golden bands, tropical clouds drawn up from the Sea of Cortez, everything is vibrant, delirious light. No sound but the crunch of boots and dog paws in the sandy wash lined with desert willow and Mormon tea, before we climb up to the mesa, up through a high-desert forest of Joshua trees and Juniper. We sit for a while, at sunset, great Apollo blazing over western mountains.

ALSO: Visiting the Temples of Isis in Egypt, with the great historian, philosopher, and High Priest at the Temple of Apollo at Delphi: Plutarch! This is EPISODE #250: MONSOON MOOD.

Soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver. Written & hosted by Ken Layne. Listen on the radio in Joshua Tree and across the Mojave High Desert, Friday nights at 10 p.m. on KCDZ 107.7 FM..

EPISODE #167: DOWN IN THE FLOOD

, ,

bye bitch

An interesting thing about a raging flash flood is how quiet it is, for the most part. Sometimes you’ll hear a pinyon log sort of bonk against a boulder, but the silt and the mud absorbs most of the sound. Sometimes, you feel a rumble from the ground below, a pleasing sort of rumble. Like it’s far away, a distant freight train. But the flood’s right there, ready to pull you down to the Underworld. EPISODE #167: DOWN IN THE FLOOD, with soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver.
