My wife was recently spacing out and said it was like the DVD logo was bouncing around in her head. It made me realize mine lately is like the Windows 3D pipes screensaver. Too many thoughts at once, and it's hard to tell which one should take priority. There's also usually a song on loop reverberating in there that inevitably makes its way out by humming it under my breath.

Which is odd for me because my recall memory is very very visual. I seem to narrate what I'm saying, which is also how I read stories, in my own voice either right before or while I'm saying/typing something (like this for instance). The way I hear it is in the same slightly tonal pattern in which I talk, seems very real and normal.
I also tend to think about thinking a lot and getting in the weeds in the WHYs of everything. Whether it's my anxiety or other diagnoses, my brain really wants to focus on something I don't understand until I figure it out and there are just way too many things in the world in which that does not mesh with the reality of our dumb little human brains.
I think a lot about how we are both electric sacks of meat and gas and rock and perhaps some other 4th thing that somehow can fathom at least the existence of the universe.

Im so close to being able to visualize and walk around entire environments in my head but im having a hard time connecting the pieces together.
I can hear the sounds of crashing waves, the weight of heat, the crunch of sand, and the taste of salt but there’s just one thing missing that won’t let me walk around this construct.
It’s almost like bouncing around your senses without the use of your eyes.
Makes me feel like Riddick.

My mind randomly opened to the folds of reality, it feels like my brain and my consciousness were ripped into small shreds and spread across the earthhh.
I feel as if I am everything and nothing around me, I understand and don’t at the same time.
Like I’m peering into the minds of other whilst only seeing mine as well.

Here it is, folks! Volume I of what could very well be a continuous project. Thank you so much to everyone that submitted - I smiled the entire time I was putting this together. It's best listened to with headphones ☺️
Liner Notes:
This collection of field recordings is a collaborative effort with users of PI.FYI, each of which recorded their own pieces. It features audio from all over the world and exhibits eclectic moments from London Underground commutes to cuckoo bird calls in Dhaka to the sounds of a century-old American diner.
Online communities like PI.FYI often represent a diverse set of people, places, and experiences, but together, the submissions form a living collage that highlights the commonalities of modern life - a unifying message for such a tumultuous time. The first track features all of the sounds played at once in an attempt to create an audio snapshot of an online community but in their offline lives.
The individual recordings are unedited except for minor gain and compression adjustments for consistency across the collection.
