This Box Contains...

A short track today, and with little tinkering. Something else that is new for me is doing less manipulating/processing of field recordings, and letting longer samples of environments speak for themselves, traffic noise, camera clicks, and all.

This track is made up of recordings of the little waterfall in the Alexandra Gardens from yesterday, plus me walking in the dry-ish Winter leaves in the same park. Two of the leaves samples are as is, one is pitch shifted with a ring modulator effect.
