The creative minds over at CMD Agency have released a CD of Winter “chill” music. It features recordings (found sounds) from all over the Portland area, including The Saturday Market, The Timberline Lodge, The Grotto, Zoolights, The Christmas Tree lighting at Pioneer Courthouse Square, and others.
You can stream it, download it, or they’ll even send you a free cd.
Check it out here.

Q: How do you get the glass into the furnace? A:This particular furnace is filled by shoveling it in. Paper bags are filled with solid chunks of glass and then those bags are shoveled in one at a time. The furnace is over 2200 degrees so the paper bag instantly catches fire and burns away. The glass chunks melt into molten glass in a big pot inside the furnace.
Q: What kind of glass is it? A: It is a glass that is specially formulated for glassblowing.
