reynangsablay asked: I've been following OHW for quite some time now, and the tracks never fail to make me cry/smile. Thank you for doing what you do :) I can't drop you a voicemail, but I hope to send in a recording one of these days. Wish me luck.

Thanks for sticking with me. Send a recording anytime. :-)

This track, in part, realizes a dream of mine to collaborate with musicians from all across the world on the voicemails I receive. I was introduced to Ben Z by a friend of mine at SoundCloud and was so honored by him giving this track his touch.

expectations-n-reality asked: Do you think the music in your One Hello World clips is too loud? It is difficult to hear what the actual voice mail is saying when the music is so loud. But other than that, love your work!

Thanks so much for the feedback and kind words.

The track balance is something I’ve been constantly working at with my modest audio engineering skills. Have the latest ones sounded any better balanced to you? I recently went through some tutorials at the local recording studio…

words-and-love asked: Just stumbled across One Hello World and just felt like I really ought to tell you that it is such a beautiful idea. And you write such beautiful music. That's all really. Just thought I'd let you know!

:-) thanks so much for the kind encouragement.

I <3 phone calls about phone calls. But really, what an awesome idea for an adventure.

“You know, it was always interesting to me, calling these adults, talking to them. It kind of made me wonder, maybe they were just as lonely as I was when I was kid.”

Sometimes, making conversation with a stranger can be an adventure. Thanks for calling, from somebody who loves receiving phone calls from strangers. <3

mercurymeadows asked: What does "One Hello World" mean? I was thinking about it the other day and I wondered if it has any special meaning.

It’s a nod to the antiquated phone technology that sources the material and the global purpose of the overall project. Ultimately, we’re one group of people inhabiting one planet so, shouldn’t we all understand each other a little more?

Thanks for listening. <3
