Video ID: sounds of the waves crashing and rolling in over the beach and rocky shoreline. The clouds mirror the sea foam, and a single star does the same with the distant light of Santa Cruz. The waves roll in a few feet tall at angles to each other, breaking in white cascades that spread out into a gentler swell of foam stretched out and fractured over patches of blue-green water.
THIS this is one of the first times I have ever played around with music. And I absolutely adore how this turned out. Please give a listen if you dont mind. 💖
This is a very clear example of YouTube's speech recognition algorithm hearing English words inside different pitches, that I talk about here.
The auto-generated captions are remarkably accurate when Cosmo is speaking; the music itself has no lyrics, but the A.I. hears (and shows) very precise phrases in at least two places. And if you're reading the words at the same time as listening to the music, I wager that you'll hear those phrases, too.
(Also, I'm using this as an opportunity to share the gift that is Cosmo Sheldrake... If that surname seems familiar to Tumbrites, it's 'cause his dad's the one who wrote a book about fungi, and then used a copy of his book to grow fungi.)
