ASMR

Days Incomplete

I put out the drop rig to record owls but set it up during night and did not see that at the base of the pine was a wood ant nest. The recording was "ruined" by lots of wood ants going up the trunk during the night. Was unaware how much "noise" they create but it can perhaps be used as ASMR for relaxation :)

(since all ants passed by only one of the microphones I converted the recording to mono)

Wood ants along a pine trunk

This is how I wake up every morning. Really cozy but my left arm is hurting because the cat (Chana) does not want me to move...

Burmese cat purring

While trying to record wolves (once again) this rather big moth, perhaps pine hawk moth, approached both of my Clippy microphones. A nice warm sound. This has happened so many times by now so I wonder if they are attracted to my grey Bubblebee wind protection...! In the background you hear  the wartbiter chorus all the time.

Moth and wartbiters

Night in the wolf forest during mid-August. This is the time of wartbiters, after a few minutes a brief rain shower drowns out their calls.

Rain shower in the night forest

There is a wonderful pebble beach in the small picturesque former fishing village of Ygne south of Visby, Gotland. The wind was quite strong today so the sound of pebbles was not prominent.

New Year's Eve waves in the Baltic Sea

This is the first track I've ever released featuring my own vocals.
No lyrics yet, just 'oohs and ahhs'.
Actually there aren't even any 'oohs'..

The album art is an accidental photo I took of the Kathmandu "skyline".

Enjoy

Moments

Kayaking from midnight until dawn listening for birds.

ASMR - Kayaking at night

Pagan chant lyrics from spells8 - 'Powerful Song'

Powerful song of radiant light,
Weave us the web that spins the night.
Web of stars that holds the dark,
Weave us the earth that feeds the spark.

Strand by stand, hand over hand,
Thread by thread, we weave the web.

Pagan chant lyrics from The Goodly Spellbook - 'The Bagahi Rune'

Bagahi laca bachahe,
Lamac cahi achabahe,
Karrelyos.

Lamac Lamec bachalyos,
Cabahagi sabalyos,
Baryolas.

Lagozatha cabyolas,
Samahac et famyolas,
Harrahya.

Translation:

The feast in November, the feast,
I shall transport thee there myself,
And without the aid of a sieve, 
To scour the plates and dishes with sand,
Work which must be done with those plates and dishes,
We  shall meet our friends, ready for the drinking-cup,
If they shall go to the feast, their bellies full with,
Quaffing from the drinking-cup.
O' sons of the master, with your families,
Shout his praises with the  cry,
HURRAHYA!
