Lanterns over Bangkok – 8 seconds a day #25
Visited Bangkok last year, and was able to take part in this incredible festival – a yearly festival in Bangkok that celebrates life. There was a rock show, tons of kids and everyone setting off candle floats into the Chao Phraya river as a symbolic offering of hope. And a group of even more adventurous send off Chinese lanterns into the sky.
This is a video clip is of Chinese lanterns floating in the sky right next to the Rama 8 bridge. Absolutely spectacular!
Wishing all friends in Bangkok are safe these days.
The background music is a track by Dirt Star, with guitar by Floaty.

8 seconds a day #22 Monkeys on the roof
Was woken up by these two a while back. I thought the cries out the window were from a cat on the roof. No, it was a baby monkey that was trapped. Mommy monkey came to save her baby from a very stressful situation, and then they were off to enjoy another day.

Waves hit and swirl
Watching the waves hit and swirl around the rocks. Love the sound of these waves – one day in the not so distant future, we’re going to be making music directly with the sound of videos, and processing those into new works.
Music is from a Dirt Star track called Second Look.
