Chopin: Nocturne No 20 in C-Sharp Minor, op. post.

I composed this using strictly Spitfire Audio LABS samples. There is much grace to be had in isolation...we are not alone in this time of pandemic. #labscommunity

Peace with and without a cause - Part 1

In August 2020 there was a few days of some intense thunderstorms across the UK. On this particular day I put my microphone rig out under the cover of a large hedge outside my flat and recorded for several hours. For most of the recording the hedge was inhabited also by a robin, who sang softly throughout most of the storm. 

This is a short excerpt from that longer recording where I like the density of the rain, and where the song cuts through just enough. It was the middle of the day so you'll hear some traffic and other sounds of activity from where I live, at the edge of a city.
