Sorry to hear about your son's illness. Yes, that breathing effect adds a lot of life to the piece. I'm not sure how it got there! At some point I'll go back to the raw file and see how it sounded before processing.

This is great, lovely subtle sounds. Did you interact with the harp in any way to get the wind to "play" it?

This was a very enjoyable listening experience at 4 am while I am in the hospital with my son who is getting cancer treatment. It helped me drift off for awhile. I especially enjoyed the sounds in the right ear that slowly breathed throughout the piece.

Thanks Mark.

No interaction on my part whatsoever. In fact I was working in the garden while the wind played and the recorder ran. If I remember correctly, I just applied some compression afterwards to constrain some of the gustier bits, but otherwise it's as recorded.

Brilliant, that’s amazing really isn’t it!

Yes, so much depth to it with the harmonic overtones. I'll experiment further this autumn when the winds pickup again.
