Mesmerizing! I like the little ripply bits…not sure how else to describe them…they sound like ripples on water…or maybe a bird’s cheep. Appreciate the “How I Did It”

I’m with Deb — the opening “ripply” bits was a real hook. Listening to this mix made me smile for several reasons: (1) the 3 of us stumbled onto our FB pages and left comments there too; (2) I was paired up with Gurdonark, (3) Both Gurdonark and I chose to do a bird-themed remix!

That’s a cool bit of fun, and I don’t know what a Kiskadee sounds like, but the occasional high chirping sound in the song does sound like a songbird, and the ripply percussive notes sound like a bird taking flight.

I think it’s very cool and enjoyable the way you reused the midi pattern, G. I know the part of the Texas your referenced. Lots of birds live and migrate through south and east Texas.
Tunafish, Adonis and Ironhead. News to me. Have to check ‘em out. |

I played with so many of your samples! I love the percussion ones a lot, but all my efforts there went into a kind of techno cave. I live in north Texas, and love to go to east or south Texas to see the birds!
Tunafish is windows only but free, and Ironhead Spawn and Adonis are not expensive little plugs. You can find the sites via kvraudio.com. Ironhead Spawn is one you might in particular enjoy, while Adonis is good for space-music type sounds. |

What I found amazing is that as I was reading your comment, it was like a narative to the piece while it was playing in the background. TXR is an accomplished and innovative producer and what you’ve done is quite amazing and beautiful too. I could feel myself seeing what you saw when you discovered your kiskadee and it will envoke me to look for one of my own. Lovely work, TXR has been well represented by your piece.

I don’t want to sound all that spacey and new-agey, but man… the world twirls in mysterious ways. You were my secret assignment for this round, and we both chose to feature birds in our mixes. BTW, I enjoyed reading and learning about the Kiskadee. Thanks for that.

I really hope that you’ll record your story once and mix it with this song. They really complement each other.

I second this idea!

I am really sorry to be late to this party (working too hard and then getting sick from it). This may be one of my favorite of yours to date — you created a smooth atmosphere that is incredibly soothing to listen to, and does indeed suggest birdsong and flight. Bravo Gurdonark!
