Ginkgo – Ginkgo biloba
As the Ginkgo tree is a tree native to China, I wanted to capture elements of the culture whilst also infusing my own influence into the piece. To inspire this sound, I explored timbre and pentatonic harmony with my own synthesised sounds and recordings that I took around the tree. I then used certain audio effects to create the shimmering textures and drone-like nature of the piece to conjure up feelings of age and tranquility.
