  • 2171: Rain and Bird on a falling tree entering the city
    Reimagined by AJ Born.
    "The rain with the bird was nice but quite short. I added some additional sounds and elongated it to 3 minutes: 
    1\. Someone, cutting a tree in Hambacher forest with a chain saw (from a youtube video).
    2\. Trains at Hamburg Hauptbahnhof,
    3\. Cars and plains recorded at my parents' garden in Hamburg,
    4\. Happy children playing in a backyard where I work.
    5\. I added a melody that should sound like a musical box."

  • 2170: Peruvian rain
    Peruvian rain reimagined by Primitive Acoustics.
    "The relaxing sounds of rain falling in this recording helped quench my thirsty soul. We have been living in thick smoke from forest fires and drought conditions for the past three months here in southern Oregon.
    This piece is an expression of the feelings of joy and relief that I imagined we would experience once the rains finally arrived this fall."

  • 2168: "Anura" they have come to clear the forests and pollute the water
    Macedonian frogs reimagined by Joel Graham.
    "It begins with the original frogs, I used a creaking door sound for the chainsaw guitar, and water drops for the percussion and muck sounds. the voices of the "ghost frog monks" are modified frog sounds from the original (there are no words hidden in the whispers). It ends with modified frog sounds."
