A peaceful, meditative natural soundscape: the gentle wind through coastal forest; the deep roar of the Southern Ocean a mile away; and, immersed within the matrix of these elemental forces, a dispersed, quiet, but alive and recovering, early summer dawn - announced quite emphatically at the beginning of this recording by a nearby Red Wattlebird. (The Red Wattlebird's early 'wake up' calls are the only louder passage in this entire piece. It's a Red Wattlebird subspecies (Anthochaera carunculata clelandi) that is found only on Kangaroo Island.)

Recommended listening: Good quality headphones with a flat frequency response (preferably open-backed); or good quality stereo monitors. Relaxed deep meditative listening at a quiet time with minimal interference from extraneous noise. 

A note on the track image: The panorama photograph was taken from the middle of Snake Lagoon, facing the eastern forest margin of the lagoon. The recording was made from within the forest itself. At the time the photograph was taken, on 5th December 2024, Snake Lagoon, like most of the inland lagoons of Kangaroo Island, was dry, although its fertile soil floor was nevertheless green with flora, richly fertilised by the droppings of Kangaroo Island Kangaroos and Tammar Wallabies feeding on that same flora. Its dryness was due to a protracted period of unseasonal drought, a drought that was a major contributing cause to the devastating Black Summer bushfires of 2019-2020. Those bushfires also raged through the coastal forests surrounding Snake Lagoon, which are seen, here, in this photograph, four years after the bushfires.

a very rough edit of a much longer improvised ambient piece

for the moment

Caught My Eyes

This friday, the 3:rd of october Taylor Swift released her album The Life of a Showgirl. On that album there's a song called Father Figure. Here's a cover of that song in Swedish. Just a demo for now as I would like to add some strings or what not and polish the mix.

Fadersgestalt is the name in Swedish...

I challanged myself to make this as I normally don't listen to Taylor...

All rights to the composition belongs to Ms Taylor

fadersgestalt [demo]

Get me out of here right now
Get me out of here right now
How can I even make myself feel proud
When there's some things I can't say out loud
Get me out of here right now
Get me out of here right now

And when it's over
Will we get closure in the end?
When they're behind us
Need not remind me again
The end

Get me out of my way tonight
Get me out of my way tonight
How can I even make myself feel right
When all I ever get to do is fight
Get me out of my way tonight
Get me out of my way tonight

And when it's over
Will we get closure in the end?
When they're behind us
Need not remind me again
The end

No
No
No
No

ANARS ! Chemin de l'amour

Verse 1

I’m standing in the doorway,
But you don’t look my way.
Your silence cuts much deeper
Than the cruelest words could say.

I’m reaching out with empty hands,
But you don’t even see.
I’m fading in the shadows
Of the love you promised me.

---

Pre-Chorus

And I wonder if I matter,
Or if I’m just a ghost.
How can I be forgotten
By the ones I need the most?

---

Chorus

I’m invisible to you,
Like the stars in daylight skies.
Unimportant, overlooked,
Lost beneath your heavy eyes.
You should love me hardest,
But I’m breaking in the dark.
Invisible to you,
With a shattered, quiet heart.

---

Verse 2

I learned to hide my feelings,
To keep the peace at home.
But silence is a prison
When you’re left to bleed alone.

I scream inside the quiet,
But the walls don’t let it through.
I’m drowning in the distance
Between me and loving you.

---

Bridge

If love is meant to heal me,
Why does it leave me torn?
If family is forever,
Why am I so forlorn?
I’m begging for a kindness
That should never be denied.
But I’m unseen, unimportant,
Left alone to run and hide.

---

Final Chorus (lifted intensity)

I’m invisible to you,
Like a song you never sing.
Unimportant, overlooked,
Like a bird with broken wings.
You should love me hardest,
But I’m fading into night.
Invisible to you,
And I’ll never feel it right.

This is a remix of an older recording that I couldn't get right. It's a bit better, but still in need of attention! 👍🏼
