Lovely, dronelike melody! I love the overall texture shift from harsh to soft throughout the track. Nicely done!

10 red rounds

There's a woodland stream about a mile or so from where I live, It's a lovely spot and on a quiet day, the stream tinkles along very nicely, so I decided to record it and then thought it'd be cool to make a montage from the recordings I made.

I recorded the stream in five 'parts' - moving around the stream in different locations and proximities, relative to it . This created different sonic 'elements', some more spatial - surf-like (at a distance), others more directional - 'gloopy' sounds (closer to). Turning my head slowly whilst recording gave a spatial panning effect which was interesting. The montage ebbs and flows and creates a far larger soundscape in parts, than the actual sound that the rather small stream actually makes. 


Recorded with a set of 'home-made' binaural mics made from a matched pair of Primo E172 mic capsules, into a Zoom H2.n recorder.  No effects / processing, just a tiny bit of high pass filtering to reduce some intermittent traffic noise and some minimal Eq.

i'm an ambient musician, sound engineer/producer and sound designer,  & photographer - currently based in Perth, Scotland, and i was also a full-time member of the global musical collective 48cameras, whose main base was in Belgium, which ended in 2019 after the death of its founder and leader Jean Marie Mathoul.

95% of the sounds i use and make are created using just the bass guitar as the main sound source. i rarely use synthesiser sounds, and all my recordings are done in the analogue domain, with 2 ESI400 hardware samplers at the heart of my recording set-up.
