small selves disappear

When faced with the massiveness of the ocean, of the mountains, of nature, our small selves can disappear. When those small selves -- those little complaining, worrying naysaying, doubting small insignificant selves -- disappear, we feel a little peace. I'm grateful to have had some time away from work and the usual life grind last week. Watched and listened to the ocean. Rode bikes and walked through forests, looked at mountains and rivers and felt those moments of peace.
Back home this weekend and did a little jam with some gear, playing with the looper. Not exactly the super peaceful flow I may have thought I'd do, but this is what came out at the time, so it gets to be this week's track. Did some quick vocal sounds with words like what I wrote above. Playing with Ableton's vocoder with various other sounds from the track as the carrier. I think I'll do more vocoder fun in the weeks to come.
Looking forward to hearing everyone's music this week. It will brighten my day as I begrudgingly go back to work. Hope the season is treating you all well!
