Good way to describe it. I really only used 12 tracks on this with most of them being the drums.

Thank you Whitewolf

Thank you Speck. I really appreciate the comment.

Thank you for the source material. There was almost too much good stuff to pick from. For this, I was trying to capture what it would be like without the insects such as the firefly flying around. It’s hard to present in music that but that’s why I ended with the nature sound and did a quick fade. That is also why I chose that particular vocal sample which was originally a love song I believe but it seem to fit for this too.

Thank you. This almost went more towards a funky sound but the atmospheric string sample from CSM wouldn’t let me.

Thank you. I didn’t want to go too dark so I removed and rearranged a few things and realized CSMs vocals were actually brightening up the piece.

Glad to hear. I figured fireflies come out at night so I just went with the song having a darker tone to it. I spent a few years in FL when I was a kid and remember fireflies quite well. I tried to capture the nearly magical feeling I remember having.

Good description. I think the vocals definitely have a soulful tone. Thank you for listening.

Appreciate the comments Apoxode.

Thank you Loveshadow. They were originally a love song which I borrowed to turn into a nature/human relationship song.

Thank you Kara. I was delighted to be teamed up with her. I must say we never really crossed paths so I didn’t realize she had such a large amount of very high quality music.
