Musician William Tyler spent the month of May in Green River, Utah. During that month, he created a radio play called Twilight Zephyr, an audio collage made up of field recordings, live guitar compositions, narration and more. The piece was recorded in and around Green River, Utah, and at The Tank Center for the Sonic Arts in Rangely, Colorado.
