great! some sounds are similar to my bike squeaking, I tried recording it many times but never got to use any of the samples. the guitar sounds good, it's like recorded forwards and backwards at the same time! The emerging rhythms from all the sounds (flutes, squeaks, guitar, the weird bubbly things) are so unusual. great for many listens, seems like you can never predict what comes next, but it all makes sense because there is some kind of melody in the guitar lines. beautiful piece! there's a yearning and an unfulfilled wish / hope in this music.

I love the blend of the ambient noises and the guitar here, this is really lovely!

Thanks for the descriptive comment and kind words! Sometimes i feel its more interesting not to write to much about the process to see how people interpret things. I will write a little bit here anyways:
The guitar was played along with a half speed track. Like i’ve done many times before. I cut it so the parts were always the same chords underneath, moved around kind of randomly without snapping. It was played in kind of a changing tempo way, which is probably why the rythms sound a bit weird. The “flute” part was the recorder with the headpiece removed played like a trumpet. Did the same slowing scheme to that. Then i recorded a zither part but it didn’t turn out great, i added some delay to it and tried to hide it in the mix. I really like the idea of using recordings that you don’t feel like are working in a more utility kind of way (like filling out space.) the squeeks were a synth part. Some weird crackle i dont where it came from, probably the limiter but actually i think i prefer the piece like that.

Thanks for listening! What an interesting picture, happy you liked it!

Thank you for listening!

That’s really good to hear right now (and then)

Thank you for listening!

the play between the guitar and skittering sounds has such a dreamy relaxing feel.  Like I'm laying back in a hammock enjoying nature around me.
