Loping Along

A bit of soul searching with this one ... 

Finding the Center

A somber piece .. I have been thinking a lot lately about where I have been and where I am going. 

The Halls Of Reflection

More introspection ,,

This Strange Eventful History

Track inspired from image for Ambient Online competition. http://www.ambientonline.org/forum/showthread.php?3324-New-Challenge-The-Image-Inspired-Dare-1

The challenge was to create a track inspired by the image. For me the image seemed to portray a stalwart piece of something larger, that has been around for a long time, and has been a place of many individual moments and experiences, each an untold story.

Untold Stories

The Silent Calling

A kind of anthemy piece that was fun to add parts to. 

Steady On

@carl-young-1 added some nice flute to my original piece. Thanks Carl!

The image seemed to me to be part of a harbor or some destination from long ago. I imagined warriors or travelers in boats heading there, but not at a great pace .. just letting the ebb and flow of the gentle tides nudge them ever homeward.

The Gentle Tides

A kind of melancholy piece. This piece started out like all my pieces, as some improv noodling, but the themes kept running through my head all weekend so I decided to actually finish something (for a change) and do my best to wrap it up and post it.  Cheers.

(hmm .. I think I need to rework the mix a bit .. too quiet overall .. bass and drums swamping the rest of the mix? .. stay tuned for update) 

After the Rain

This just sort of fell together last night ... hope you like it. :) 

Happy The Man

Transformed

This is a collaboration between Tina Trelle and myself. 

Tina - RAV Drum, Didgeridoo
Me - Vocalizations and environment sounds

BillandTina - RAV - Nature - Vocal - Didge

I have not done any ambient pieces in a while. Thought I'd give it a go again :) 

This is a few notes from a RAV Drum (awesome instruments, http://ravvast.com/) slowed down to about 40 times slower than normal using spectral stretching, then passed through various reverbs, delays and modulators. 

The title for this piece has been running through my mind a lot lately. How life is such a miracle, how we can so easily get caught up in everyday things and lose perspective on the bigger picture.  Embrace the miracle of now, be grateful for all the little things, make someone's day better, give what you can while you can. Life is short - too short to be sidetracked with petty distractions and uncooperative attitudes - make the most of it - for yourself and for everyone around you. We are all special and unique - give what gifts you have - you just never know who will be touched and how.
