By The Lake (Huge Chestnut mix) - ambient synth jam on a tree with Roland MC101 and Behringer Crave

Following a rainy summer morning, I joined the slug colony at the base of the huge chestnut tree that features in my most-viewed video 'Mighty Chestnut Drone' to record a multitrack jam using my Zoom H6.
The track is the one I wrote whilst in the Lake district and I've since added the Crave part now that I can write sequences in without needing the manual :) The two effects pedals were used on the Crave for monitoring purposes only, FX was added during the mixing stage.

Wow, Keith Sutton, your 'Mighty Chestnut Drone' video truly captures the essence of nature's symphony. The blend of technology and the beauty of the Lake District is mesmerizing. Your musical talents, along with the Zoom H6, brought this moment to life, and the Crave part added a magical touch. Your creativity knows no bounds!

The best synth stand of all time! Awesome stuff Keith - love it

Nice one buddy. What a lovely tree with perfectly placed ledges for your stuff.

Thanks 👍

This tree/tune appears to be in sympathetic resonance with the sycamore recently 'murdered' at Hadrian's Wall.

I don't know why some chestnut trees, such as this one, are left to grow so large whilst all others are coppiced - a young looking spindly tree can be really really old!

Nothing nicer than using nature as your keyboard stand! I get up to this too - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4bMp5Wear2Lo9E Great tune.
