Sketchbook Series: A Dance with the Sun

A variation of a theme that has found its way into a few recent compositions, the song was composed on a recent summer’s day, inspired while watching the late afternoon rays of sunlight playfully dance with the leaves in our garden. Recorded with just a few takes, no editing, the piece explores use of washy multi-head delays via the Strymon El Capistan, a touch of reverse delay from the Eventide Rose and, some deep vibrato effect from the Keeley Hydra. The imagery is a collection of stock videos, chosen to best convey some of the images that came to mind — like a daydream.    ENJOY!
