Very ecocative sounds. And I am sorry to read about Bram. That can be quite a loss.

This is just immense and sorry for your loss. A wonderful tribute though to your dear cat Bram.

The combination of this magical soundscape and John's wonderful field recording makes me feel as if I'm actually among those pine trees myself, playing hide and seek.  So very sorry to hear about Bram, who you must be missing so much - I'm from a family who loved their cats so have an insight into how you must be feeling.  This is utterly beautiful in every way, Peter & Feddo.

met recht een soundscape , prachtig misterieus , zeer fraai mannen :-)

Bram is in pet-heaven playing with my cat Ninja. Pets are like fam members, Rip dear pets!

It's like being on the shoreline in one's dreams; where something mysterious washes up with each new wave.

Beautiful space. That was a lovely bit of ambient. :)

I dedicate this track to our dear cat Bram who we sadly had to put to sleep today.

My special thanks go to John Grzinich for providing the opportunity using his great field recording on freesound.org. Check his amazing recordings: https://freesound.org/people/jgrzinich/

These sounds remind me so much on when I was a young kid, playing hide and seek in the forest of the last row of dunes on the Island of Texel, my cousin looking for me and me, holding quit, just hearing the wind in the pine tree tops and waiting for a footstep of my approaching cousin.

This piece is based on the following:  I have long wondered at the percentage of "ambient" sound we suppress: infrastructure noises; highway traffic; fog horns; etc. etc.  That leads me to ponder the cost, if any, of utilizing a portion of our "energy" to continually suppress such sounds.   Finally, that in liberating and "redeeming" said disregarded, suppressed sounds, one can experience beauty and musicality.  This piece was made by my carrying a handheld digital recorder and perambulating a wide swath of my home neighborhood.   Moving through inhabited, to graveyard district industrial, to waterfront, underpass, basketball (that's the ghost of John Cage shooting hoops).  The buildings hum and the birds sing counterpoint.  I have managed, thus far, to suppress an overwhelming urge to start caressing, folding, manipulating, pounding these sounds into something else.  As they stand, however, many of them would be worthy of any electronic ambient composition and I wanted to present them in their natural glory.  Hence, while doing a minimal amount of trimming, snipping and constructing a coherence to the piece, I stayed away from reverb, looping, delay, compressor etc. etc.

A couple of things:  Some of the sounds are church services that I passed by.  I don't know the churches or the singers but I found them to be exceedingly beautiful and of great meaning to me.  It is with profound respect that I offer my thanks.  Similarly, I don't know who took the picture...it looked cool and appropriate, however.  Thank you!  

Hope you enjoy!!
