Don't Stop

The 5 minute aural collage camping experience.  Campers will love this.  Put your headphones on or get in between the speakers and close your eyes for 5 minutes exactly.   From the lapping water on the shore, to the sizzling bacon at breakfast, the afternoon forest biophany while napping, the evening fire crackling and ending with the haunting and incredibly beautiful echos of loons calling across a huge lake.   The natural reverb of the mountain-y Isle Mysterieuse right in front of us helped make this a really amazing captured few moments.     

All recorded on my Zoom H4N at the best canoe campsite ever on Lac Du Grand Poisson Blanc, QC.   

Lac Du Grand Poisson Blanc Camping Collage - June 2012

Ambient contemplation with piano and distant synth.   Tracked in my livingroom on a grand piano.   

Inside-TheForestFloor

Collaborative piece by folks from the Ambient Music Forum.    We all contributed content, and this is my mix of that.  One of the things I love about ambient music is that the mixing is as much a creative pursuit as the creating itself.     :)

Something I often think about is the incredibly masterful sense of timing nature must have in order for life to exist. From winds in late fall to finish blowing leaves off of the trees to the one day in mid-summer when some insects hatch and fly out of the ground and loads of other examples... seasons changing, life growing and ultimately returning to ground... It's a brilliant bit of engineering, and this song was put together with this idea in mind.

I'm a freelance recording/mix engineer, piano tuner, web designer.    I really like making noise, recording it, and then twisting and carving it.   I love writing, of course, but I really love working on other people's projects.   Album coming soon....
