A quietly epic, all-acoustic instrumental in 7/4, built around some simple melodic ideas voiced across ukuleles, acoustic guitars, and acoustic bass—exploring phrasing, articulation, and rhythmic displacement rather than repetition.
Fingerpicked and slide guitar lines intertwine with a grounded bass pulse and muted, organic percussion, creating a sense of forward motion that feels both playful and stubborn, light yet quietly profound.
The piece leans toward acoustic post-rock and organic prog, with cinematic, travel-adventure overtones and a strong melodic focus.
Instruments played:
Kala ukulele
Martin acoustic guitar
L’arrivée acoustic bass
Assorted percussion (including hitting my Spanish guitar w/mallets , doumbek and pezuñas)
Composed and performed by Daniel Diaz, December 2025
Inspired by the haiku:
A quiet cabin;
hunting milkcaps, I was soon
lost among the pines
