The sounds in this piece create a very vivid scene in my mind. There is an honesty in the way Adam speaks. An acceptance of the circumstances of life. That combined with the sound of the mud makes me think of everything within the story as being only different shades of grey, like a black and white movie. Although I had never heard of a worm digger, the story makes me feel as if I have known about worm digging all my life.
This story does a great job of showing a working man's struggle. From the very beginning of this story, when the producer chooses to use the sound of the central character's car refusing to start, this piece draws the listener in. The recordings here are beautiful, the stories the man tells are very personal and telling, the blend of sounds are really nice. Even though it's obviously an uphill battle for this man, and that comes through well in the storytelling, there is hope in the piece. The end is really cool, and unexpected. Beautiful stuff.
