Description This was a sketch that Buckhorn sent me of him humming and strumming; i thought it was really nice so I made a sound collage out of it. I like to picture him stepping away from the stresses of the day and just disappearing into a world of his own making.

I used some sounds from freesound so here are the credits where credit is due (they really make the song more than my manipulated instruments):

thanks Lengold
i'm so glad you like it. I tried to make it sound like a field recording (even though the water is a stream and the birds are seagulls - oh well). thanks for listening.

i'm glad you like this. Buckhorn does some great stuff, I'm almost hesitant to step all over it, but this was just irresistable to me. thanks for listening.

hey Bryn
thanks for listening, glad you like.

Good stuff
The freesound project is great - isn't it. Since you mentioned it the other day - I put Audacity on my PC at work and when I get bored I go on geo tagged sound safaris. This is really nicely done. Great track you had to work with from Buckhorn.

michael2 said 475 days ago
you
just have to love open source anything. it's cool to be able to make music even when you have no instruments at your disposal. thanks for listening Bud.

buckhorn said 475 days ago
I like
What you did here. It captures the the mood just right. The baby crying ( or was it a seagull) was especially apropriate since I did this late at night adjacent where a baby slept. I was tempting fate. Later dude.

michael2 said 475 days ago
glad you
approve. it actually was a baby; i know you got the same thing going on as me, so I searched out a baby crying on freesound. turned out okay huh? remember I threatened to use the world music jampack? next time, it's gonna be all about the electro-house-disco-remix jampack; are you ready?

echoroom said 475 days ago
feels
like a sound sketch of the planet at dawn... i've just woken up... this starts my day very gently... thank you

Love the tranquility
It forces me to sit down and read a book. Instead of frantically do other stuff that needs to be done....

Diviner said 474 days ago
Lovely scene
Just sittin, chillin, strummin' and letting go of all the days stress. Its a great image. Its a lovely track that does release stress. Thanks for sharing this little delight.

soothing
the humming and guitar are just right I like the mixture of sounds you put together put me in a relaxed state of mind!

Axgrinder said 472 days ago
Very interesting Micheal!
Brought a lot of thoughts to my head. A peaceful easy feeling. Kudos to the two of you or should I add the other Micheal also? Solid production and a very relaxing auditory journey my friend! Thanks.
