Atchafalaya by musical nature
I recently took a trip down to New Orleans with my fiancée, and got to experience the city in a whole new light than I have before. It was a wonderful trip, and we had an amazing time. While I was there, I brought along my travel recorder and gear, and captured sounds inside and outside of the city. On our trip we visited The Singing Oak in City Park, Jackson Square, the swamps at Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve, rode the streetcars down and back on St. Charles Avenue, to name a few things... but those sounds below are what make up this hour long slow and wandering journey through NOLA and surrounding environments, just as it was on "New Orleans Time".
The name itself comes from not only one of the amazing restaurants we ate at while we were there, but also the Atchafalaya River. While we did not visit the River on the trip, it provides more of a Southern Louisiana feel to this track, because all of the sounds captured were from both inside and outside of the city.
an ambient project in experimental sound.
My ambient style is one of soundscapes, layered background textures, mixed with nature and an occasional drum loop here and there, ranging from very minimal long-form ambient pieces, to more beat-filled ambient house. It is background music. Music for listening to while working, hanging out, or calling it a night.
