Multimedia "Small Bites" on Instagram

I capture a ton of great audio when I'm working on an article or a video project, and then I throw most of it out. It's not that the audio is unusable, there's just a lot of extra stuff that I have to edit away to get to the main point, or story, of a piece.

"Small Bites" were created because it pains me to hear a great little story (usually a tangent in a broader conversation), a quote, or some music, and then find that I have to throw it out later.

Bites are short, one minute multimedia pieces that I share on Instagram. Most are audio with one photo, but I'm expanding into short video clips as well. Here are a few of my favorites.

061017 / Joyce Cobb Memphis, TN Much of what I record during gigs gets scrapped, and I think it's a shame; I love all those little moments. I'm playing with the idea of creating short clips from concerts, or interviews, just to share more. This clip of Joyce was recorded last night in Midtown as part of a larger project. #music #joycecobb #memphis #midtown
