Golden Hour

By Devieus on November 13, 2022 6:16 am

So this week was our birthday, and we've just accepted that this year that means doing a live recording of nature, so the best I could think of was the beach
I went there, set up my tripod and recorded a whole bunch on my phone
It was something I planned for a few days, watching the weather forecasts, setting a calendar appointment to make sure the timing was just right and though I missed the actual setting sun, I got a nice bit of the golden hour right after that, even made a video where you can see the sky change over 10 minutes
Then I just added random sounds of instruments without too much thought, probably could use some better mixing, but I am busy with another project atm so this is all you're getting

So the journal, we're a year older (got some money as gift, which we then spent on nice things), but the day-to-day hasn't changed much
What's nice tho is that Dev is getting stronger again, which is great, but also I really miss him

Reminds me a bit of the night time music in animal crossing new leaf. Hope you had a good birthday!

Oh yes, indeed, that's synchronicity. We have similar themes this week. You captured a really beautiful light and end of day. The choice of instruments is nice, it feels natural, as if small animals were going through their evening and preparing for the night.

I was going for instruments you might find someone playing on the beach (and a harp), or animals work fine considering how rough the mix is
I hope they had a good night

I was waiting for the big bang or something like this....

it was a quiet and relaxing ambient recording though.

Thank you~
There was definitely a plane flying over (two if I remember right), but none of them landed in the water, that'd just be silly, there's a perfectly good airport not too far from here

Always nice to take in a sunset especially by the shore.  This was super peaceful and calming that reminded me of Stardew Valley a bit smile 

i love the sparse gestures framed by the nature-recording, such a perfectly organic expression here: makes every moment feel like an easter egg heart

…oh and also: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! big_smile

Sounds of water, wind and birds. My favorite instruments. Happy Birthday and wishing you many happy returns!

What a beautiful scene, and really nice sounds. Super relaxing.
