Have you been licking frogs again?

Canadian swamp soundscape reimagined by Andrea Callea.
"A soothing ambient piece almost completely comprised of derivative sounds from the original "Canada Prince George Frogs Croaking", transformed with heavy use of DSP.
"At first, I picked the "Canada Prince George Frogs Croaking" as one of the most uniform and with, basically, a single source. As the "cleanest source" to build a soundscape around it.
"However, the process and results thus far didn't really work. So, I scrapped everything and waited to listen to some remixes coming in. To check if an abstract piece would fit the requirements. That confirmed such pieces were welcome. Time to pivot!
"At first I played around with PaulXStretch, (as one does in this cases :P), to see if it would provide a rich enough derivative sonic palette. And It did! Besides the "Tibetan bowl" (which is not a Tibetan bowl), the children, and the thunder; every sound you hear comes from the original source. Heavily transformed, chopped, looped, reversed, effect'd, edited, and so on.
"Personally, making (this kind of) music is therapeutic and cathartic. I hope it can relax you too."
