great use of space/panning.  Years ago I thought of maybe writing music that creates an ASMR effect . . . this right here does that for me.

Great atmospheric sound, increasing intense at the end! ..loved it

wonderful use of nature - truly the worlds first music....

Really beautiful and peaceful, wonderful fusion of nature's music with lovely instruments!

Before I start to describe the sound of this track, I want to make it clear from the start, that our natural fauna are the world's greatest musicians. We are just playing catch up!
I didn't want this tune to have the forest samples just slotted in for light relief in an already completed music piece, I wanted this to be a duet with the birds & insects. That's why in this track, all the samples are brought right up in the mix & it's actually them who are supplying the most interesting musical moments, as I downplayed my own musical statements, so their sounds would totally shine.
I love field recording, so this also includes some of my own personal collection. There are some native birds from the Kakadu national park in Queensland Australia & lots of water recordings as well, to give that whole "forest" feeling.
ENJOY!

Deep forest

I started off learning piano at around 6 years old, but only realised my ear for music when I could pick out melodies I heard on the radio & from then on I started writing my own music & playing long into the night, to the point where my parents told me to stop so they could go to sleep!
In my teenage years I joined bands & learnt basically on the fly how to work as a group. Once I realised that keyboards were not as portable & able to be played on beaches / around campfires, I taught myself guitar. By adding drums, harmonica & bass to my arsenal, the stage was set for a fully working band to record in my garage. Since setting up my home studio, I love recording a tune each week & especially love collaborating with all the extremely talented musicians on soundcloud. I'm a full time musician, with many different hats in the music community. Including songwriter, composer, live musician & blog writer.
