topography of a tree

Frog Park in Oakland, CA was a sort of crossroads for me for the duration of the 20 years that I lived there. I passed through it often on my bike as an art school student, fell in love with a tree that I climbed with a friend regularly, and then later would go there with my child. One day I climbed the tree with my phone taped to my chest to capture the closeness of my body to the tree's body. This was before I knew what a GoPro was. From that video, I extracted 12 images that I've managed to hold onto for nearly a decade. The images are in the book. This track is made to accompany the images. However, you can enjoy it's delicate textures without the book as well.

I highly recommend listening to this track in headphones or a really good sound system.
