Liner Notes

#instrumental #drumnbass #birdsong

Last summer my family vacationed in western Maryland, and we went to Swallow Falls State Park. In the woods there, we heard a hermit thrush, which has a very distinctive song. Very musical, kind of like a flute, but the bird sings these ghost notes at the end of its melody that sound like it's singing it's own echo/delay. I thought it would be interesting to incorporate the thrush's song into some kind of electronic track, and that's been on my to-do's for this FAWM

To make this song, I found a sample of the hermit thrush at naturesounds.ca, and then slowed it down / pitched it down to where I could figure out more or less what the thrush was singing. That became the main bass line/theme, and then I added other parts around that

Kind of short, because this is about as far as I'm interested in taking it. This is another #undercat production. Sable is too zonked right now to care that I've got birds in my headphones

I love it when people really get properly #experimental on FAWM. What a fascinating process—and you got a fantastic result out of it, too.

Great to hear a North Amercan bird here in Europe today! Amazing how you studied it's call and did such a great job to have it integrated in this track. Hats off!

Love the title. Love the inspiration and found sound elements. That bass line is cool, active without being unnatural, which I guess makes sense. There's a movement that I like quite a bit. It's fun getting a lot of the rhythm from the bass line, the propelling it forward.

Excellent energy! Great mix between nature (bird sounds) and electronica! Love It!
