Noise #48 for Solo Piano

The joy of ducks

Dear Friends,

Today, Friday, July 29, 2022, Minnesota’s Star Tribune featured the article: Hunt of a lifetime: Shooting every duck in the world (with a camera).

Between invasions and floods, inflation and fires, there’s a lot of troubling stuff in the news right now. I think that’s why this particular article inspired me to record Noise #48.

Especially against a dark backdrop, it’s wonderful to learn how wildlife biologist Gary Kramer devoted his career to shooting pictures of ducks around the world, and that his work is now collected in the “540-page hardcover opus, Waterfowl of the World.”

War and climate change are horrible. Ducks are awesome. And that’s what today’s improv is all about. I hope you enjoy listening.

Wishing you a peaceful weekend,

Michael Gallant
