I just finished a rough draft of an old Joni Mitchell song. I
heard it on an old Ellen Barkin movie last night and it inspired me
to try my hand at it. Here is is. Let me know what you think.
Like I said, it's still a bit rough, bu still sounds pretty good.
Enjoy:

Grabbed!
I cann't swap it with an original springtriccle/birdsinging, but
you still have it on YouTube.com (search on 'Himmerland'). You
unintentionally gave me my best christmaspresent. Edward Hennessey
threw me a oneliner in sci.geo.mineralogy that made me shine all
day ... you guys are the best.

After I posted the link, I went back and listened to it again. Not
up to my usual standards, I must say. I'm taking it offline until I
can remix it. Ugh. I must have been half asleep to have posted it
before it was done. I'll let you know when the final product is up.

There's a human behind, that's why I like it.
I got to look at the summer shootings and found this the better one
(no obvious fowlup) of the lot. It's one coherent take drifting down
the stream we've looked at before. I've emphasized ease of shooting,
no chaotic dynamic this time, but it's more aestetics than
hydrogeology.

That's a pretty cool video, Carsten. I thought it especially neat
that you can hear the birds below the water line.

Yes, isn't it. I did tone it down a bit not to make people anticipate a
singing bird in diving-gear paddle by (neither the trickle nor the bird
is the original sound). I've broadcasted it in Natur.dk to see if
anyone can recognize the bird. The very versatile song made me believe
that it's a nightingale, but the half hour I spent recording it, it
stayed hidden in dense willow. When I got very close, it just kept
quiet.
The video is comparably awsome in DV video format, but the 'real'
format is HDV. I cann't tell weather there will be any difference; I
havn't got a HDV-tv, but I pressume that I may have the best experience
left yet.
I'm still pondering on how to present my salmon-river takes .. such
type of movie has great predecessors difficult to live up to. Maybe I
prefer to tell the story about my last endavour: I took a half an hour
swim (destination uncertain, but I finally met a bridge) down the small
river into which the cold springs discharge. On the video I can hear
how I start hyper-ventilating becourse it was 10 degrees colder than I
expected, but I wore my wet-suit. My home-made gear is unfortunately
not made for ease of use, and I've ruined a frightening amount of takes
by my own fowling things up. The swimming would be another thing that
could not right away be redone, so I mobilized my utmost to have all
things done right. When you get into the water it turns out to be a bit
more murky than you think, but this time it was very merky .. after
quite a while of pondering, I realized that my own goggles was still on
my forehead. But that's ok as long as the shooting goes well ;o)

Whatever kind of bird it was, it sure had a beautiful, melodious song.
I'm not too familiar with European songbirds, so I couldn't help you
identify it. We have a lot of mockingbirds here. One in particular
that seems to come back to my yard every year for the past three or four
years has learned how to mock eastern blue jays, a truck backing up
(beep, beep, beep...), a telephone ringing, and a police siren (woo,
woo, woo..). That last one is very funny to hear coming from a bird. I
was outside with my grandsons one day and told them about it, and they
didn't believe me. But the bird was on cue and started his siren call,
and they just thought that was the coolest thing they'd ever heard a
bird do. Keep up the good work with the video.

I found out what kind of bird's on the video (local name kær-sanger). It
has the same way of imitating other birds, but not as apparantly
obknoxious as your mockingbird :o)

Ah yes. A warbbler. That makes sense.

I've felt pushed to upload a couple of holiday-strips of a far worse
quality than they can bear, but to give you a hint of a joyful time, have
a look

Nice. I wondered if there was any fish in those streams. Niced looking
salmon!
