I played the guitar on this track

Analog + Vocal work

Decided to see what my old sampler would sound like if I used a Moog Concertmate as the sampling source. 

Danforth Hill makes gritty hip-hop/folk/lo-fi tracks that somehow sound extremely polished in the end. Acoustic guitar, gritty interference sounds and hip-hop beats permeate his collection of music so far. He samples himself. He samples wind chimes and random records he finds. He somehow arranges all of these randoms things to make beautiful music. What separates Danforth from the rest is his musical skill coming before learning to make beats and sample. I think most musicians run straight for the sampler when their musical skills are laking, but Danforth genuinely likes broken, sampled sounds, yet at the same time is an excellent guitarist/drummer/whateverelse.

CapeFox: fellow artist who lives amongst the trees. He creates ambient/trip-hop music for himself and for others who enjoy their ambient with deep, reverbed chords supported by crisp and meaningful drum beats. This particular track sounds like a chorus of lovely sounding children singing in a cave that echos and spreads out into a deep forest. His music so great is that his tracks constantly morph and blend into something "foresty" and naturally suited for the Trees are Chill website.
