Nice. The last two times I've recorded this, I've been in a closet, trying not to wake up a napping baby. I find my silence in a closet. It makes me sound more hushed and thoughtful than I am.
I like the closet effect, your recordings are always easy to work with, thanks. Per what you said, I too have spent time driving in the middle of the country away from any cities. When I first drove out to Montana for school I was struck by how desolate the Bad Lands are. Filling up for gas, or stopping at a rest area was definitely quiet. It was one of the first times I had experienced anything like it. I drove an old beat up minivan from Montana to Michigan once in the winter by myself. That trip was full of silence and many mechanical difficulties. I broke down in the middle of a blizzard and had to hitchhike my way to Sioux Falls. Lots of silence and were it not for some kind people and AAA, I would have had a very difficult time of it.
