Description: This is an excerpt of the second iteration of a soundscapepiece called Manifold. All sounds are Creative Commons licensed recordings from freesound.org.

This is an version of the solo ukulele piece 'What Rhymes with Life?'. This version uses two echoes of the ukulele's audio at a time interval of one and two seconds. The first echo is transposed up one octave while the other echo is transposed down, thus filling the textural and registral space in a way the solo uke couldn't on its own. Other techniques include campanella fingerstyle plucking of the uke and percussive techniques upon the top of the instrument. 

The joke of the title is that when you look up 'Life' in a rhyming dictionary there's actually not much that actually rhymes with life.
