Naranjo de Bulnes (Cosecha)
Naranjo de Bulnes is my working of the Cosecha file. The track was inspired not only by the sounds generated by the random sound, but also the 2500m peak in the Picos de Europa.
After a couple of listens to Cosecha, I began to hear hard, edgy sounds and decided that mountains and the challenges they present would be my synesthesia. Pulling this piece together and referring to various photos of Naranjo de Bulnes has rekindled my interest in climbing. I might just have to pull that gear out of the attic and have at it again. Once mixed and mastered, this track will be included in the Somió release, Deva.
Cosecha has been a fantastic exercise in sound design – something very new to me. Having to work with only one source file to create all the elements of this track was a hugely enjoyable challenge.

Done loads more work on this since uploading the file above. I’ve now got more than I know what to do with from Cosecha.wav!
REALLY looking forward to arranging this and uploading very soon. [12/06/2009]
Hey! This pops! Excellent groove. Involuntary bop-along response triggered. ;o)
That’s a lot of mileage (kilometerage?!?) out of that cool random sound.
Kieron, you keep getting better and better. It’s very interesting to watch and listen your leaps and bounds progress.
Thanks Doyle, Fernando and James for the comments.
Additional sounds now extracted from Cosecha.wav and added to Naranjo de Bulnes. Uploaded above.
Still may need further mixing and not yet mastered, but would love any additional feedback!
Wow. Nice range of sounds you’ve squeezed out of the sample. Most impressive. Great work!
Definitely a few little errors with levels need ironing out here (one quite notable near the beginning), but almost there.
Mastered version (mastered by @pure_tone) uploaded yesterday.
