It's one of the largest life forms on the planet: a quaking aspen so colossal it has a name — Pando, which is Latin for "I spread." "I just dove in and started recording everything I could in any way that I could," says Rice, who made his pilgrimage to the mighty aspen last July. "And there's just a really nice shimmering quality to Pando when you walk through it," says Rice. This was the result: Pando Vibrations 1:00 "As soon as the wind would blow and the leaves would start to vibrate," Rice says, "you would hear this amazing low rumble."
