Nice deep sound on this track. I could imagine that I am lying down to drowse a little after lunch in a meadow at the high edge of a montane forest.

Located on the Tanneron Ridges, the Forêt Du Grand Duc covers 90 hectares and offers beautiful views over the Mediterranean Sea, the Bay of Cannes and the Lérins Islands. 

This recording was made at 6am, about 45 minutes before sunrise. We hear nightingales, robins, blue tits, blackbirds and other common woodland birds.

Dawn Chorus - Forêt Du Grand Duc, Mandelieu, France

The word "Ta ・ DA ・ i ・ Ma" is used by Japanese people every day. When I get home, I speak when I open the front door. To be heard by the family. Some are pet cats. When one turns on the lamp in a room where no one lives alone, he quietly says "Ta, DA, i, Ma".
This song is the music of the words that I, who lost confidence, uttered toward my heart.

Whenever I hear a rhythmic noise like the sound of this downspout, or a windshield wiper, or ceiling fan, I always find myself filling out the beat in my head. So, for this submission, I decided to cut up the sample in to “calls” and did about four takes of “responses” on my drums. After that, I went back in Ableton, chose my favorite parts and added a random effect on each section, automating each one on and off.

Regardless of how I feel about the resulting recording, the important thing about this track is that I really, truly had fun making it. It was the first time in as long as I can remember that I started laughing out loud playing my drums.

Drum Battle With A Downspout Disquiet0581

Welcome to the third part of this very personal and emotional 4-Movement-Symphony !

An orchestral work about "HOME" is a great undertaking, with high expectations, which one actually almost has to fail at.
Therefore, I embark on a personal journey of thought and try to paint musical pictures with four movements from different viewpoints.

The first movement, introduced by a pathetic orchestral forte meanders - moves across stylistic zones, sometimes on the borderline of classical tonality, sometimes loud and self-confident, then desperate, often romantic and peaceful from scene to scene.
Fugue-like quotations are juxtaposed with post-romantic sequences. Film music-like moments duel with almost classical reminiscences.
This movement represents the restless quest that touches on many things but finishes very few. The last tones fade away with a romantic, allusive love scene and gentle slumber.

The second movement is marked by illness and melancholy. As it has happened many times in my musical endeavors, life sets strong impulses and overturns my original plans. 
It turned from a movement that was originally intended for love, to a fantasy about fever dreams and fear, caused by my sudden sickness. So this movement was getting quasi a setting about Corona.
Fever dreams, fears for my loved ones, weakness and deep griefs and heaviness weigh down the sounds. The situation seems hopeless.
Several times my beloved tries to lighten the state of mind - orchestrated by the English horn. These are the short moments when the music changes from minor to major for a few bars. The illness, however, remains dominant until this movement ends with a touch of hope.

The third movement dabbles in joie de vivre. A 6/8 time signature in the corner sections and 3/4 time in the middle section suggest lightness. Nevertheless, the piece remains rather subdued and demonstrates that life brings many burdens with it. The expression: Home cannot be found through exuberant celebration.

The fourth movement initially alludes to several events in the preceding movements. To illness, to travel, to loss, to transient joys. 
As it progresses, it deals with the people who are truly meaningful, my children, my family, my darling.
The finish is a declaration of love for people. The music becomes more and more romantic and expresses the joy of life.

Home is not found in places or in moods. 
It is a gift: Home is where the heart finds peace and tranquility.

It was a pleasure working with Andreas Kitzmann's track https://soundcloud.com/andreas-kitzmann-27370936/disquiet0591, thanks @andreas-kitzmann-27370936!

With such gorgeous material, there wasn't much more to do than plug in my acoustic and play the guitar into the Chase Bliss Mood (so may not be immediately recognisable as guitar, apart from a bit at the end that I left relatively straightforward). Some minimal flavouring of the reverberating & delaying kind, with the dosage slightly higher for the purer acoustic sounds towards the end. 

The Tête-à-Tête pic taken at Tate Modern London seemed very appropriate for this week's assignment.

Tête-à-Tête [Kitzmann/encym -- disquiet0592]

Always a gamble turning up to 'twitches' in the hope to get sound recordings of the bird, but I had to make the effort when the location is that of Ham Wall, probably one of the most exotic soundtracks the Uk has to offer. I still struggled to get 2 minutes free of people talking or planes going overhead but with some editing this track was by far the best and bonus, I did get a lovely Bittern booming too. 

The bird! well what do I say, I've never heard or seen one of these before as they're rare vagrants to the Uk but safe to say I'll be making the effort again if we ever get another. They sound truly incredible and are so loud!
