This is really well mixed and the beat is really nice

Enhorabuena , el trabajo en esta pista es increible, Es super profesiona. El sonido es encantador.

The bass on this is very well crafted. Even though it functions as a lead, it still changes up enough to carry the tune. Very, very rich bass.

woah love this track! vocals and violin player are amazing! keep making great music for us fans!

the intro is a little to long and leaves you waiting but over all it is some nice sounding music

This is a solid piece of work. I hope to auricularly discern more!

Wow what a nice treat - just finishing up listening - This has dynamics and headroom in spades, missing entirely from almost all music today. Expert performance, took me on a fun journey that I found mostly triggered something intellectual and toward the very end maybe even emoted something a little unsettling and creepy.

Beuatiful sounds beautiful mix and everything this is a nice piece. Keep up the passionate work 

this is a real sound thank you for making it

A Walk in the Woods

Download: https://kud.li/campfr101

This is the first in a series of releases generated via the program of sound, music and arts residencies at Fuse Art Space's remote mountain arts facility, CAMP. Opened in April 2018, CAMP hosts residential workshops in the high French Pyrenees with the world's most acclaimed composers, performers, artists and writers - sessions in 2018 have been lead by Chris Watson, Gavin Bryars, Anne Bean, Eli Keszler, Laraaji and others.

La Rivière et la Forêt was created during Gavin Bryars' residential CAMP course in April 2018. Arriving in Aulus les Bains, Lara noticed the omnipresence of the sound of the river, and decided to work with that sound. Seeking sound away from the river, Lara hiked the forests recording birdsong, forest rivulets and the tin rooves of abandoned shepherd's huts. Working with Audiosculpt and Reaper, the resulting field recordings were blended with sound from the village to create a piece which exposes both the primary sounds of this diverse sonic landscape and a sense of Lara's time spent in the village.

Lara Poe - La Rivière et la Forêt

Written in response to John Constable's Seascape Study: Boat and Storm Sky, 20 July 1828; as part of the Royal Academy of Arts' 'In Tune with the RA Collection'. 

Bass Clarinet - Jonathan Leeds
Bass Guitar - Matthew Lomax

'Drowning In The Din...' responds to how Constable's coastal scene balances areas of the naked canvas with raw, animated brushstrokes. 

The exposed framework of the painting is reflected in the subtle clicks, breathes, shakes and buzzes that reverberate from the frameworks of the bass clarinet and bass guitar; and the vibrant gesture of the brushstrokes influenced the live electronics which consist of brushstroke recordings, triggered and manipulated in response to how the two instruments move and interact.

Drowning In The Din... - Bass Clarinet, Bass Guitar and Live Electronics [2018]

A more experimentative track of mine, using an idea of descending thirds and minor seconds.  Transformations was composed by me in a 2-week period and played by the Jack quartet (http://www.jackquartet.com).  Enjoy!
