Jerome Wrote:It's funny how you latched onto that 'panoramic' thing. I was actually walking along a hiking trail on the Amalfi Coast in Italy when this one popped into my head. (The Walk of the Gods) - a trail high up on top of the mountain with sea way down below. That's why I tried to create the sound of the waves in the beginning as if they were far away but still audible.

And as for panoramic views - the piece is called 'The Great Expanse' - go figure!

Can't see the attachment for some or other reason??!??

MAG2NYC Wrote:Wow! I just watched a video of the walk, and can completely see why this music popped into your head (for some reason it sounds like evening to me...no idea why). I think there is a problem loading images (I just read it over on the new pups thread where Music Head said he'd had to find a way to circumvent the system through FB or something), here's a link to the photo I tried to attach (the first picture on the page is the one I tried to attach). http://all-that-is-interesting.com/red-tide-blue-tide

Jerome Wrote:Amalfi Coast is my favourite spot in the world. Really stunning scenery and it does not have that touristy feel to the place. Very laid back and peaceful. I normally go to a place called Praiano which is about halfway between Positano and Amalfi.

As far as your idea goes, Jerome, I love it! What a fantastic idea! Radio shows used to have music to accompany the story, why not a short story in audio form! I have to admit that I have not been a huge fan of audio books (*cough*controlfreak*cough*), but I'm trying to give them a chance. I eased into the audio scene with the Harry Potter books because I loved the man who read them (his name escapes me right now). I'm working up to others. *laughs*

Cheers!

jazzboCR Wrote:I may have given that impression but really I just come across bits-and-pieces and sometimes a link to a particular site, quote it then on to the next adventure. I am really scatter-shot. An email or even phone call to CBC might be in order. Not to continue a stereotype, but even when Canada barred my entry (youthful indiscretions) they were polite about it and paid my way back to a US city.
