Campfire Stories 11 (Autumn at Plaenterwald) by Robert Heel (@robertheel)
~ About The Story ~
After a long autumn walk out of Berlin in the Brandenburg Forest and Spree River at Plaenterwald (which has an old abandoned amusement park) I went back home and basically continued my autumn journey with selecting music for a mix. I tried to create an atmosphere and images of for autumn, I worked quite long on the music selection to really paint the picture and tell the story I wanted to achieve and then recorded the mix in Ableton with a delay and reverb and most tracks I also slightly edited. From rainy textures, falling leaves, sunny days to cloudy and windy atmospheres. I chose a poem to go accompany the mix.
- - - Oh, good gigantic smile o’ the brown old earth, This autumn morning! How he sets his bones To bask i’ the sun, and thrusts out knees and feet For the ripple to run over in its mirth; Listening the while, where on the heap of stones The white breast of the sea-lark twitters sweet.
That is the doctrine, simple, ancient, true; Such is life’s trial, as old earth smiles and knows. If you loved only what were worth your love, Love were clear gain, and wholly well for you: Make the low nature better by your throes! Give earth yourself, go up for gain above! “Among the Rocks” by Robert Browning - - -
