This definitely captures that hot humid feeling for me - great work and lovely textures

Great concept. As a committed city dweller this is exactly what nature sounds like to me!

feels relentlessly hot and hectic - like I can feel annoying reflected heat from tarmac

wow - i knew where I was before I even read the description! Great job!

Conjures "Hiroshima Mon Amour" somehow - maybe the lower frequency drone?

About 12 years ago I was wandering around the suburbs of Hiroshima, alone on a very hot, very humid summer day.  I saw a temple on a hill and wanted to climb up to see it but I couldn't find a path or road to get up there.  I decided to climb up the hill through the bamboo forest, trail or not.  The hill was very steep and slippery with leaves.  I never made it to the top.  For whatever reason I still remember this experience vividly.

I used my modular synthesizer to recreate the sounds of the forest, layering a variety of patches.  All of the sounds you hear are from the synthesizer (even the sound of traffic in the distance was made using white noise and a lowpass filter), no other recordings have been used.
