Common Lime – Tilia x europaea
Large Leaved Lime – Tilia x platyphyllos
Lime trees are abundant in Kensington Gardens; they are everywhere and without lime trees this place would not be the same. I used synthesisers to put an atmospherical feel into the harmonic sequence I devised, which sounds soothing and mysterious at the same time. I tried to imagine what a typical stroll in the gardens would feel like. I wrote 65 variations for all the Common Lime and Large Leaved Lime trees in the area using countermelodies and different samples. It would be amazing if my music adds to the great experience of walking here.
