I resampled Ankhtifi's mastertrack "Tibetan Monastery". I had some fun with wordplay as there seemed to be some allergic reaction to Tibetan money at one time. The former Tibetan Srang being replaced by the Chinese Yuan. Besides adding some traditional percussion samples for effect no other sounds were used, everything you hear is somekind of resample of the original master track. Hope you enjoy it.

Rêve Chamanique

C'est l'histoire d'un mec qui n'a pas de chance. Cela le rend autant en colère que désespéré.

Frost

La mémoire est un paysage en constante transformation, où les contours des souvenirs s’effacent comme des traces dans la neige. Avec le temps, les détails s’entrelacent, des fragments s’ajoutent ou se perdent, brouillant les frontières entre réalité et invention. Et pourtant, une douce mélancolie s’attarde sur ces instants qui ne reviendront jamais, ces éclats de vie désormais flous, chargés d’une chaleur inexplicable, figés à présent dans le froid. Ce qui semblait si clair devient une toile de nuances tendres, une vérité réinterprétée par l’esprit, teintée de la nostalgie d’un passé qu’on aimerait revivre, ne serait-ce qu’un instant.

A track produced for the 600th Naviar Records Haiku Challenge; 7 days in which to write and record a piece in response to the haiku posted. The haiku, 'thinking of us, the sound of wind, among the pines' made me think of the 'us' as several voices carried in the wind through the forest, so I used solely voice samples for the track.
