This is a dream sequence from a Devonian forest. Insects are masterful for generating ambient noise. Featured in this piece are crickets and cicada recordings which have been processed using Supercollider. Only 400 million years ago insects were creating the first serious music and will continue to do so long after humans have vanished.

Starting with the thought of comforting noise, I had decided to focus on using filtered pink noise as the basis for the piece. Woke up with a dream of someone playing this little melody on the piano, so that had to go in, too. The piece opens with two streams of pink noise, separated by an octave (like parents, maybe). Those I generated in SuperCollider (will put code in comments). In Logic I added piano, synths and percussion and mixed the tracks.

If you’ve got a push lawn mower, you must be a reel man. (Boom tish, theng you very mush, I’m here all week etc). No but seriously - really great sound sample (I love metal clanging/scraping/clattering noises). Thanks for making such a fun piece with it.

lol! I dig field recording, one of these days I have to get some real gear for it (there’s a good thread on field recording here on Lines)
