Scotchbroom from Haida (Raven) by David Miles Huber

This song is about a man’s taking time out from his life to commune with nature. Laying on a summer’s day on the ground taking in all that is around him. The plants and wildlife that surrounds him arouse his spirits, allowing him to drink in all that is life both around and within him. To me, this song has always been reminiscent of deception pass (wiki, video) at the gateway to the islands of Northwest Washington.

The intro to this song is literally about 5 minutes long. Originally, it was simply an evolving synth pad (sustained, underlying sound) with a solo piano. One day, decades later, I was in my yoga class and heard a b minor ohmmmm that would fit perfectly under the pad. I contacted a good buddy (multi-Grammy-nominated producer Morten Lindberg of 2L) in Norway to see if he had access to a male Norwegian choir. It just so happened that the next week, he was going to be working with the ????? choir … who kindly agreed to do a continuous 5 minute b minor vocalization that could sit under the synth … and this is what you hear.
