Welcome and Introductions

Hello and welcome.

My name is Brandon Jay. I have lived in Colorado, home of the Mile High City, for most of my life. I am 6 feet 9 inches tall, as close to a 7-foot man as you can get. This is how I hear my world at 5287 Feet.

This blog will feature field recordings and sound compositions by myself and whatever I happen to come across online. Here are a few introductory links to get you started and to have an idea of what I’m all about.
