Water gently falling onto branch
Vibration – exciting strings, open
Insects keep time, birds above call
As summer begins to fall

Michael Delia:
Sound Installation of waterfall, tree branch
and amplified Stratocaster guitar in garden pond

Live stereo recording made on Sunday, September 20, 2020 in the afternoon sun on the Autumnal Equinox. The recorder was placed in the grass next to the guitar amplifier near to the pond capturing the mix of insects, falling water, a wind chime, the singing of birds and other ambient sounds from the yard.
