wow, that's the coolest 'field recording' ever! So cool that you've integrated that part of your life into this ambient guitar stuff. I've always appreciated the sounds of water in some of your videos, but I suspected that most of that audio was not recorded for, or even near the visuals. I think the addition of audio that accompanies your visuals is an amazing addition. Maybe you could incorporate something like that for the footage shot above the surface as well, so we can hear some of what we're seeing....................PS I still think it's a real tragedy how little traffic you get to your channel.....personally, I don't know anything about promoting content on 'Socials', but I wish more people could experience your uploads................
