Giraffes by Thierry Holweck
The source of my inspiration began in a private garden in the heart of a big city, where nature is trying to reclaim its place. Where birds, cats and insects meet, in a pond in the garden of a library where frogs frolic. A peaceful little street where the eyes of an adult kitten and fox meet for a second glance.
Animal instinct, in opposition to human rationality, is a form of purity in a world that has lost its natural balance.
Musical balance, where each note responds to the other in finding its place on the scale, is a metaphor for this ideal that I am to achieve despite the chaos. In alliance with the chaos.
Nature, like music, tunes itself and seeks harmony within the global dissonance represented by human activity.
I used a Serge Modular Synth to create the timbre and sounds, field samples recorded at my inspiration source and an acoustic guitar played with a bow on "Frogs in the library".

Natural sounds like a wood floor, animals and any natural element fed into the sampler add depth and humanise the soundscape.
