About

Kim needed a long piece of music for her breathwork sessions, that could be used commercially. The music had to be slow paced, around 60bpm, with a hypnotic feel, but rich with textures and different drums.

Work

This music project involved playing and recording a variety of instruments. Most percussion, like drums, frame drums, udu and shakers but also some flutes and drones, to achieve an hypnotic, but interesting, sound.

Some effects and drones were created from scratch, while others were used from field recordings done in different places (water, rain, etc).

After everything was properly recorded, all elements were arranged and mixed. The instruments and sounds were combined with subtle changes (gain, EQ, compression, panning, etc), guiding the listener through the different moments of intensity.

Final Product

The full version of the music created exclusively for Kim Chareonbood is 30min in duration. You can hear a short 5min cut in the video bellow.

This video was made using stock footage, with a couple of different landscapes to accompany the music.
