Not gonna lie. Listening to this in a dark room at around midnight was a strange experience.
Very immersive. Awesome stuff.

Yea it's a night ambience for sure although I guess the track is waking up towards the end. Hope to check out your latest soon. Dan

Whatever you are doing to get this at the desired level, it is working. I like the sound of this! In all honesty, when you are working "in the box" with virtual synths and effects only, then there is usually very little wrong with simply boosting the gain (normalizing or whatever). I say this, because most plugins don't have any noise floor. As long as it's not boosted until it clips, it will probably sound fine. I like the artistry in this one, it's atmospheric and unusual! Keep at it!

I think with the change in drivers there will be a lot more flexibility. It has been like pulling teeth getting something approaching an acceptable mix. I'm glad you were digging this one. Huge thanks again for the recent brainstorming.

What the hell is going on in that marshland, Is that screaming or a creature? Sounds like someone is being eaten alive by wild animals after being tied to a tree or scaphism (they did that in the middle ages)! This is awesome Dan! Does this marsh happen to be anywhere near the cemetary we did one about? The peepers were out the other night, I almost recorded them. I'll get them this summer.

Thanks so much Burt! I rely on you for my horror education. My samples just naturally sound horrific, but in this case there was no intentional connection with swamp-based torture scenes. I had one bug sample left over after this venture, which I have applied to a new track. Then I'm done with bug samples for a while.

I used to kayak all the time and hearing this track reminded me how awesome it was, minus any mosquitoes. I would see all kinds of wildlife. One day me and a deer stared at each other about 70 feet, 20 meters or so apart. I broke our stare a good 15 minutes into it and paddled away, it was a good moment.

Thanks Dan for bring me back there!

I have a recollection of an early morning close encounter with some deer as well. This while camping once with some other summer campers. But wow - 15 minutes is a long stare! Anyway - I'm really happy if you connected with the track. Best regards - Dan

considering your objective of conveying that marsh picture I think you have the vibe pretty much nailed Dan...Its a soundscape...mind pictures kind of musical piece so I think each listener will hear their own thought variation on it...Maybe with the marsh dance aspect in mind it could flow into a gentle water rhythm section...I can imagine it being fun to create from a picture concept...very nicely done by the way...will try to check back & hear where you head with it....cheers...Ed

Do you have an instrument in mind for a melody? I'm overdue to play on my 6 strings, maybe I can record something melodic. I know you shared this with me, but I'll download this version and see if anything comes of it. I can hear some slow maybe droning melodic playing. It's like being in that marshland after someone slipped a little something in my coffee ;) Too short for sure!

well - the insect chorus has had its day. gonna try writing some music for the next track, maybe even real chords and instruments. thanks for checking this out Burt.

Although I usually wouldn't listen to soundscapes, I must say I was pleasantly surprised by your upload. For me, music it good when it touches me somehow, or when I feel something with it. I definately felt something here, a bit like drifting in water, on my back, away from the shore, and still feeling OK with it. If this track would have been 10 minutes or more, I really wouldn't have minded :).

The cracks I hear every now and then, is that clipping?

the track evolved a bit since you were kind enough to have a listen. added a few sounds. tried to develop a "line" It was a fun project. learned a lot about modeling sounds and mixing with this one. I ended up nevertheless with a little bit of crackle here and there in my effort to get a louder result. thanks again for checking this out.

This one is definitely ambient at its core. Something very intriguing about these sounds. It conjures up images of electricity for me though :P I'm really liking all the ambient stuff being uploaded, yours included :)

Description : Miguel from Bolivia got in touch wanting to sing on my Dirge in Em track. You never know what to expect but in this case he delivered with this emotional and wonderful vocal performance. Thanks and much respect to him. LM wouldn't let me insert his U-Tube or Spotify links but I'm sure if you seek you will find.
