Uploaded February 2019 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

As 1998 winds to an end, Ray reflects on a steam driven, old hand wood mill near Colten owned by 95 year old Bill Bittner. Bill would go on to live to be well over 100 before passing on.

Also a look at old steam engines, dixieland and folk musicians, old fashioned haircuts and more.

What DOGE Really Wants from Federal Lands

$Last Moments Contemporary, dark ambient piece I composed a couple of years ago and reworked several times until arriving at this version. The music is somewhat split in two, with the first half being very dissonant and out of key or meter. The second half sounds more pleasing, but on its own its actually fairly dissonant, with several modulations in the chord and key structure. The voices are from ATC chatter and CVR recordings from actual aircraft incidences. The video was done in Adobe After Effects, using a few layers of fractal noise set to swirl and no plugins. The images are from actual aircraft incidents, but they do not match the ACT/CVR chatter, only to be complimentary to the music. If you would like a copy of this, or to use this music for your own project, please ask.$
