Waters Edge (w/ Buckhorn)

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):

	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. Check out my latest song called Expanding Toys (Halloween Remix)

	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. Check out my latest song called another fool

	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?

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