i hear you walking around in my songs
calling my name while we sleep
standing on our tipping toes
meeting in a secret dream
we're sitting in the waiting room
falling further in
we're sitting in the waiting room
falling further in/to love
built (with permission) on Napear's enchanting week 28 track, 'Waiting Room.' thank you again, Friend.

after some discussion with onezero about convolution reverb on his lovely week 36 track, 'Windmill-Hill,' i decided to try using convolution reverb on my bus(ses) this week. i used an impulse from a collection that onezero shared with me, and i am really happy with how it worked for this track.
thanks again, Maurice!
the insect sounds have been pretty intense here lately. i've actually been rather enjoying it. i find it calming and almost hypnotizing at times. anyway, i decided not to fight with them while recording this one. i was sitting at my desk and had windows open on both sides of me. i thought they sounded rather grand in stereo like that, so i set up a mic in front of each window and recorded them in stereo and mixed that into the track.
*i also couldn't resist slowing them down ~25% and bring that in on select parts of the song as well.
i posted a few pics of that mic setup on instagram. if you'd like to see those and/or connect on IG, you can do so here.
ok!
ps: : when i was looking up the Napear link to include, i was reminded of the triumphant track that Devieus had shared back on Week 29 that also incorporated 'Waiting Room.' check it out: HERE if you haven't already.
Once again the ambient foundation combines really well with the strummed acoustic guitar to build a magical and comforting sound world. Love the slowed down insects as well.

I mean... I'm sorta jealous of your insect choir now! This is swirly dreamy nostalgic in all my favourite ways. The space is ethereal and wide open and then the rhythmic snaps show me the shape of the room perfectly like sonar, it transports me... right into the waiting room with you.
But outside space is flowing by like glowing waves.
Really beautiful. Masterful mix in an in awe.

Beautiful work! Your instrumental and vocal performance are fine as always, and the cross-genus collaboration is wonderful. (Any sound worth hearing is worth hearing slower.)
I'm also glad to have helped a bit with the impulses--everything sounds great!

There you go tugging on those emotional strings of mine again... This is so pretty, congrats to you and Napear!
Also, wanna hear a minor coincidence? The very first song I ever wrote was called "In the waiting room", hahahaha...

Solid track, it is great that you are inspired by this community and do all those "collaborations" or re-visit some of the previous tracks.
I really like the acoustic guitars work there.
Well played.

Love the details here, the snaps and gaps. It works real well with that ambient feel in the background and then a kinda folky indie vibe with it. Beautiful.
Great job!

This is absolutely lovely. No way is this an over 6 minute track. Sat here with my hands over my mouth for most of it.
Your vocals continue to astound me. Lovely harmony, with emotion and texture to spare.
The acoustic guitar coupled with the ambient background was a treat. It invited the listener to sink deeper.
Fantastic work. Thank you so much.

I am a total fan of that combination of earthy sounds and acoustic stuff, combined with whooshing ambiences and spacy textures. A winning combination if done well and here it is . Great one!
