Recordings at the Montana State Fair

My audio recordings were featured in an exhibit at the Big Sky Country State Fair in Bozeman, Montana from July 19 – 23. The exhibit was sponsored by the Montana State University Library and focused on the literary work of the late author Ivan Doig. The recordings included soundscapes of rodeo events, livestock and wildlife from around Montana. 

In 2016, I took several recording trips to trace locations featured in Doig’s writings as part of the library’s new Ivan Doig archive. Doig was raised in Montana and spent much of his life writing about his experiences. He wrote more than 16 books of fiction and non-fiction.

You can read more about the Doig exhibit in an article published last May in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle.
