This is one of my favourite soundscapes on my album Just in Time. It’s called Firefly and it was one of those songs where it happened very smoothly and then I had a chance to sit back and listen to it. To my surprise it captured the feeling and setting I wanted exactly.
I used to live on a beautiful property in Maleny on the sunshine coast. It was a 35 acre piece of land with a path down into the forest eventually coming to a creek. As the light was fading and we were coming back up the path there were small groups of fireflies that used to follow us home silently. There was a quiet that I felt inside as they tracked us throught the forest that I will never forget. The sample in this song is recorded in there on a little mini disc recorder.
