welcome to synthquest: improvised, ambient soundscapes! this week during the livestream, listeners played video games, did yoga sessions (or maybe just extended shavasana) and we celebrated more autumnal sounds: fall sounds so percussive and crunchy with a peaceful ominousness from the sounds of crows and a chill in the air. listening to the sounds of fall so intensively, I 100% get Halloween and spooky fall harvest festivals. it's one of my favorite times of year. i also encourage you to celebrate the season by sharing this episode with a friend! 

this week's improvised soundscape revolves around a field recording from my front porch — and I'm so excited to celebrate my current studio and home this way as I'm moving and this is our last synthquest episode coming to you from our current spot! stay tuned for more synthquest from my new, bigger studio that will even accomodate some musical guests being added to the mix. to check out the new spot, don't forget to tune into the livestream — mondays and wednesdays at 9pm CT at twitch.tv/jenstarsinic  (go hit 'follow' on Twitch to get notifications when we go live!)

i highly recommend listening to synthquest through headphones. i'll also suggest settling into someplace comfortable to listen, or listening during a bath, massage, on a walk, while you make dinner — basically wherever you go or whatever you do to relax and decompress.
