Discovered this track from a recent Everything Sounds podcast. This is amazing. I've been making everyone listen to it all weekend. I can't wait for this kind of work to find its place in public radio.
Cheers,
Jess

  • Summary: Mad Genius proudly presents the latest song in our "2012: A Year In Your Ear" series: "The Adventures of Hurricane Mike." Like a lot of people, Mike Iann (eye-AN) recently chose to ride out Hurricane Sandy. He was hoping to protect his grandfather's New Jersey home from the rising water. This choice sent Mike on a death-defying adventure that brought him a newfound love of family and, for a moment, internet fame. You may have seen Mike's unsent death letter to his father on Facebook. Well, here's Mike's struggle to survive set to music by Mad Genius. Like all our tracks, we built Mike's song from the ground up using only samples from hurricane news coverage and social media.
