the birds are singing

ooooh yes, love these collabs, so fun to hear the different directions you and jwh take. This was very lovely and the laptop mic is a great reminder that we don't need fancy gear. Ok... now to listen to the jwh version!!
The ukulele strum on both of your versions is simple, but very pretty and catchy. Your version feels like the forest spirits are singing to us. Very ethereal and otherworldly. Another nice collab and it's fascinating to see the different directions you two take it in.
Another beautiful collab. 
I like the phasing effect on the ukulele!
Lovely and dreamy also very end-credits of a cute video game starring little animals camping in the woods lol
nice result with laptop mics! perfect gif - outside, floral, dark
Deep in the woods ~ the faerie version.love these woods, they feel so sparkly, soft and bright with wet moss and dew drops
had me swimming in the mystical aura of its spaciousness, even through the 30 seconds of silence at the end(was expecting an easter-egg at the end, just like in Josh's version, but i suppose the easter-egg of my blissfully satisfied ears was enough )
great work and its super fun that you're both doing your own version of the track!
Love how you treated your vocals to create this warm floating layer, another great collab.
Have you ever heard of Monome Norns? I think your style of sound design would really jive with some of the apps on that platform. I should bring mine by some time.
thank you for listening & commenting
hope you've all had a chance to see some spring ephemerals & get lost in the woods
we think we saw a beaver this week along the river here

i had not heard of that cool computer box noise machine - but i have heard of Lua & have been hoping to switch over to Linux as an os & try out reaper eventually - i feel intimidated by this style of music box creating but it seems like a fun rabbit hole to go down - if only i had more brain bandwith these days... i have some projects in the queue before i could throw another cool rabbit hole in the mix
- but would love to see what that little Monome Norns is all about some time!
