Review of Sound Artist Steve Peters: The Subtle Sounds of Nature

This piece is like ear candy for the hungry public radio listener. A sound artist walks us through some beautiful nature recordings he's made in the New Mexican desert. You hear the sound of a cactus, some ants, the sound of birds and a fence. Beautiful stuff. Ends with a nice sum up about how paying attention to our surroundings can greatly enrich our lives.
This piece has a nice fall feel to it. A station can program it into any slot for a longish-type feature -- an arts slot, for example, or just for a break from hard news / ax and trax type reporting. The sounds are really great.
