Peace (That was nice)

By Leo on May 17, 2026 9:17 pm

I'm on a roadtrip/hiking vacation with two of my best buds, one of which isn't on here and therefore shall not be named, and other one of which is maksy who captured a magical little moment during a hike. We took a detour off the beaten path up a mountain between the Lago Maggiore and Lago di Mergozzo in Italy and found a beautiful spot, where the trees broke up and we could sit in the sun, take a break and soak in the view. After having a snack, we broke out the harmonicas we brought (that were in three different scales and that maksy and I don't know how to play). Without talking about it we started simply holding single tones each, trying to find a good harmony between us. It was truly a perfect moment that will probably form the core of the memory of this vacation. And the recording forms the core of this track as well.
Listen to the full sample capturing the moment over on maksys profile. I had recorded some more samples from the hike (footsteps and a mointain creek) which I used to make this little ambient collage. Here's to week 20!

Thank you! I had a different thing lined up from earlier in the week that I meant to finish and then this came up and wanted to be captured. Recording the footprints also was my friend's idea, so it's got their prints all over.

Thank you so much! It felt like a tiny magic moment, and I think Weeklybeats prepared me to be able to recognise, appreciate and process it. Glad you dig it!
