People are fascinated to hear I don't have a middle name, but there isn't even an interesting backstory to it. I considered having all of my closest friends vote on a middle name for me and getting it legally changed, but then I remembered how ridiculous my friends are.

i have five names because my mom is an english teacher and she had to cram in every name and every meaning she loved. but it's funny because i still have just one middle name. i legally have two first names and not in a normal way like "anne marie" or "mary jane" or "mary anne" it's grace olivia which does not roll off the tongue in the same way :/ but i do like both of them. i definitely do not introduce myself as "grace olivia" because i would feel cringe doing that because it SOUNDS like i'm telling people my middle name for no reason! so i treat olivia like a middle name irl. my middle name is danielle and i have two last names which is normal. having a lot of names is funny though. it is inconvenient on forms and sometimes annoying to explain but still funny. do you have a long name? do you have six names? seven? that would be awesome.

I have a very traditional biblical name as some of you may know and i was sad that it was entirely un-nick-namable but I think it suits me and my personality now. My parents almost named me Kirsten and I sometimes wonder if I would be different if they had gone with that… and I LOVE when little old southern ladies say my first name and middle name together especially if they preface it with a Miss.
my last name is actually too unique, hyphenated, and ridiculously long and was embarrassing to me for most of my life but I’ve found peace with that too and wouldn’t change it for anything 🫶

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.
