Walk in the Snow




Have made a second version... a bit of extra piano (by the way the whistling is me, recorded on the same walk). Not sure about the overall "flow" of this, but fairly happy with it... May end up doing another version from scratch, but sometimes it's better just to leave it and move on!

p.s. just had a listen on tiny computer speakers - sounds a bit terrible! I only have headphones for mixing at the moment - no monitors so its a bit tricky to know how things will sound on speakers. Anyway:

Another tune based on "found sound" - this time collected on a wintry walk near to my parent's house in Kingussie, Scotland, when i was home for Christmas and New Year - the originally titled:

Walk in the Snow.mp3

All of the sounds except for the slightly distorted delay affected melody near the end are from field recordings of snow, ambience, water, ice, various sounds from steel fence wire, snapping twigs, and various other percussive hits from trees and stones. The tune is arranged and mixed in FL Studio 9. Y ya está...

The aforementioned non-recorded sound is a distorted piano from a FL Studio synth - i was a bit short on nice tuned sounds for a melody... I'll get a picture of the scene up soon. rob

  1. Rob, this is just a Thank you comment for the new experiences with simple things that your music creates.
    Your music lives in my ipod for about 2 years now. Just recfently the Warmth Music piece was on as I've been watching the sea at night. And suddenly, the music, and the moonlight, and the sea came to life, all together. It was like a dance, amazing. Now this pice - Snow - it's like time halting between the snowflakes which I see out of my window now. A-maz-ing new moments in something I see every day. THX. Olga
