Gathering Sounds Too: Field Recording with the Rainbow Family

In Gathering Sounds Too, readers revisit the Rainbow gathering community through the audio archive project, Sounds from the Rainbow, created over a 23-year period. As part of this experience, readers are invited to wander through approximately 23 unique sound files or Sound-Trails, following a loose-knit dreamscape narrative, which utilizes a Rainbow Trail theme to imaginatively explore a tapestry of gathering songs, stories, snippets, and sounds.

Gathering Sounds Too features photos and illustrations, multimedia, a full-color you-are-there experience, weaving a folkloric, ethnographic, and surreal narrative listener guide through the exploration of field recordings made at the annual Rainbow Gathering, a free non-commercial outdoor event held since 1972 in remote locations building a temporary loose-knit community of kindred spirits all around the world.
