Räbel Natur

About this time last year I was out in the wilderness making music. While I was there, I recorded some of the natural sounds in that environment. It was always noisiest around dawn and dusk. At first it was a bit unnerving because it was so loud, eerie and yet ubiquitous. You couldn’t pinpoint the source. It just seemed to come from everywhere. After a few days I hardly noticed anymore. Check it out. Try it with headphones.

Greater Pacific

I’ve been digging on the 6-song EP Rainfall by Greater Pacific (side project from members of Travel By Sea). It’s like a nice slow trip through the countryside. In addition to lyrics about life, love and loss, and traditional country music instrumentation, the songs are complimented by atmospheric soundscapes created by guitar effects and synthesizers, thus giving the songs a bit of a psychedelic feel that you don’t often hear in the genre. It goes great with a slowly-sipped whiskey.

Here is the lead single….

If you want to buy it (and not be a dick and steal it from some virus-infested file sharing website), you can get it here.

I’m on a train in Germany listening to David Allan Coe. How many other people can say the same thing?

Das Hamburger Rathaus

Hey, it’s the Hamburger Rathaus. Goddamn, that looks like a postcard.
I’ve been experimenting with different filters. This was taken with a circular polarizer and an extra UV filter. That’s kind of doppelt gemoppelt but it resulted in the fine picture you see here.

Lösegraben

The Lösegraben is a short man-made canal in Lüneburg that bypasses the city center. When the water level in the Ilmenau gets too high, the excess water gets diverted into the Lösegraben, protecting Lüneburg from flooding.

This struck me as being very German…

Going For a Stroll

Yesterday there was a storm. Right before it hit, I heard quacking sounds. I opened my door and saw these guys just chilling. The river is about 50m away from my door, but I have never seen ducks come this far up the street. Then the storm came and they just walking up the street away from the river.

Other than that, this post is pointless.
