Who We Are
We, is me, or myself, Jason Meyers, but feel free to call us, them, he, they, him, or whatever you want to call me, or myself, or us...well, you get it -- all pronouns accepted!
What We Do
Why We Do It
Who We Are
We do anything you need that pertains to recording sounds from the Earth. However, if you want a recording from outside of the planet, I'll have to warn you that there is no sound in space, and the shortest trip to the nearest planet, Mars, would take 6 months, so that's a lot of per diems, but I'll be glad to go if you want to pay for my $20 million seat!
Why We Do It
Why We Do It
Why We Do It
Because a world without sound is pretty empty, and, besides that, I need something to drown out my tinnitus!
