Thankyou for posting the link to the video on YouTube. It is a very nice video and I loved the music by Spanoudakis. I now want to do another slide show of Arillas photographs and use that music as a background sound.
I have tried to capture the sound of the sea many times but it never turns out very good, mainly due to wind blowing over the microphone. I often think when I am on holiday, that it would be nice to "bottle" the complete experience of sights and sounds when you are relaxing near the sea.
In our years of going to Kefalonia we would always spend the last hour before we went to bed, sitting on the balcony with a glass of Metaxa. Because we stayed in a very remote location, there was hardly any lighting so the stars were really bright. To sit with a nice drink, looking at the stars, and listening to the sea and the cicadas was a very special experience. I tried to capture it here ......... ..... but it was impossible to get the "complete" feeling.
Maybe another try in July.
Dear mr Terry,
i m glad that you liked the music and i also liked that you intent to use it as aback ground
sound with photos of Arillas!
As for capturing the true sound of the sea i don t see it possible even if somebody would
use the latest technology and you know why?
Because nobody could ever capture the "feeling of the moment" only by hearing a sound!!!
That s why i find the combination of the specific music unique! It inspires you to feel
the vibes of the pure Greek culture,even to "see" in the horizon the boat of Odyssey on it s way
to Ithaka.....
It makes me dream not only of the beach and the summer but awakes me also values of humanity
friendship and it awakes
senses of freedom,,optimism,,romantism and it makes me "fly"not with the mind but
in spirit..
Yours
Eleni
Thank you for your patience
