This video is the second in an ongoing series of videos about my experiences with the natural environment and natural phenomena that I see in the Bay Area. The sampled sounds were created with a vintage Korg DSS-1 sampling synthesizer utilizing harp and acoustic guitar samples. The sampled video was found footage from a 1984 Fairlight CVI video synthesizer. The rest of the video was shot digitally by Douglas Cain. All sound and video © Douglas Cain, 2009.

Last night I had a wonderful art attack and wrote 4 new sound pieces. I would like to mention the new synth in my basement which really helped inspire this. Just a few weeks ago my roommate Matthew brought home one of the most wonderful instruments that I have had the pleasure of using; the Korg DSS-1. This is a 12 bit sampling workstation with 8 voices and velvety analog filters. If you ever have the opportunity to take one of these home, you will be greatly rewarded.
