- About Me:
- I am the Sound/Audio Preservation Archivist at Berea College in Berea, KY. In my job I preserve thousands of unique audio recordings of Appalachian music, culture, and oral histories. This is done by converting analog formats such as reel-to-reel and cassette tapes to high resolution digital files, which are then stored on a high capacity storage server with multiple backups. Access to the collection is available through the Berea College Sound Archives.
My library/archives career started after working in the performing arts and music industry for nearly 10 years, then going back to get an MLIS from the University of Kentucky.
My wife Beth and I live in Berea with our two cats, Jack and Coco. Beth works at the Kentucky Artisan Center at Berea.

Life after the banjo. Imagine that! I had no idea. I only remember reading that he had some kind of musical background, but nothing specific. Wow! Thanks for the clarification.
No, not that Bernie Krause. I mean Bernie Krause the Acoustic Ecologist. He wrote Wild Soundscapes: Discovering the Voice of the Natural World, an amazing book. It totally changed how I hear the world around me. He's also done a bunch of recordings of natural habitats that are outstanding.
If you check him out, let me know what you think.
Thanks for joining the Creative Librarians group.
So, your a sound guy? Ever hear of Bernie Krause?
