He provides several anecdotes concerning various pilots and notes that one of his pilots shot down two M-262 German jets during one mission.

Recording of Lief Brush's Treesway Solo. The only coloration that was employed in early sound handling was through equalization, balancing and combining mix-downs. Structure-wise, the piece centers around spaces in spaces, scale and proportion and the composer's soundworks effect an awareness of the psychological effects of sounds, for instance, from trees and wind transformation via the composer's windribbon. The basic groundwork includes several recyclings of the TerraInstruments including the signal discs, selfbroadcasting trees, lased raindrops and windribbon variations in an attempt to express the voltages from natural sources as recontextualized audible constructs: offering personal connections to the long term aural memories of earthguests.

Recording of Michael Keane's Ambulator Nemorensis. This piece was put together as a preliminary study for an experimental film by Nicholas Kendall called Tala.

Recording of Maggi Payne's Transparencies. Composed using the Moog synthesizer, this four channel electronic piece deals with spatial displacement via carefully controlled phase, pitch, and location relationships. Synchronized slide projections frequently accompany performances of this work. The title derives from the projection of transparencies (slides) of oscilloscope images and from the transparency/delicacy of the sounds used in the piece.
