4k Redwood Forrest with rhythmic electronic music

video upload by Saul Stokes - Frequensea

"Expansion was composed in 2018, before a Star's End Gathering performance I did in Philadelphia. The music was intended as a complimentary bonus album for the audience. It's remained obscure, likely also due to the cover, which was drawn by my daughter and is very atypical of electronic music. Expansion has some really chill electronic beats that are unique due to many of them being processed through an old tape recorder. During this time of my life, I was doing a lot of non-multitrack recordings, where I would live mix to compact flash cards in one go. I'm going to be honest and say that the original album had lots of squeaky synth solo work that was a bit too improvised for me. For this Redwood forest video, I performed extensive splicing to remove some of the worst offenders. I think this cut is much cooler with the result being more chill.

The video was created in the Redwood Forest of Reinhardt, Oakland, California. It's an absolutely stunning forest just a few minutes from the city. I had to jump off the main trail onto a small hiking path and then hide the camera. As soon as I left, dancing insects came out in force. If you listen closely, you'll hear some fairies talk in a few portions of the album. Watch the sun slowly move across the plantlife."
