I recorded the western shoreline of Flathead Lake (in northwest Montana) the afternoon of Sep 8, 2015, at Flathead Lake United Methodist Camp near Rollins, Montana. The stereo mics were placed atop a large rock that jutted into the lake. A light wind, and occasional distant motorboat, caused waves to come in from right to left, as heard in the stereo effect. The recording has been edited slightly to facilitate looping.

Flathead Lake West Shore - Sep 8, 2015

The composer of this song graciously allowed Dave to share his own performance of the song here. It’s a beautiful piano piece.
