Picture yourself lying in a canoe drifting through the wetlands. Spring peepers sing in the distance. The water laps against the shore. Relax and close your eyes. Let the sounds of the wetlands pull away your anxiety. Focus on the chorus of frogs. Your heart rate slows. Everything is calm and serene.


Why I made this soundscape:


My friend’s daughter went frog hunting in the backyard. She’s around five, has a tiny bow and arrow. Her dad and I sat on the back stoop sipping whisky while watching the mosquito light. After a while his daughter ran up to us with a frog impaled on an arrow. “He stopped singing,” she said. “Make him sing.”


I hope by listening to this soundscape you find happiness and calmness.
