With the addition of my field recordings I think it may give the listener a feeling for this beautifully resonating place with some of the natural and sacred sounds around it. I explored many tunings on my acoustic guitars and ukes which led me to finding melodies, chords, and musical sequences that dropped in from the ether. What is contained here, one might say, is a musical diary from those magical moments. I hope you will enjoy it. Tim Motzer - 6 & 12 string acoustic guitars, baritone ukulele, voice, field recordings Recorded mostly in and around the farm in Buckinghamshire during 2020. Produced by Tim Motzer -----reviews--------------- I'm sitting in a corner room on the second floor, in the trees, letting the dusk fill the room as it darkens. It’s remarkable that you could catch in a bottle so much of what you were experiencing to share with us.  just lovely. And the perfect way for the day to transition into night. GVH I love all of your field recordings. They mix wonderfully. Fantastic work. LE Each ditty captures us like a little spell; a sense of wonder. This album makes me want to slow down and really notice things. SRI
