We all had given her a few graduation gifts, dinners, etc. and my parents
had produced a nice framed picture of our house (which she can now
refer to as 'her childhood home') in Roosevelt, NJ. I thought about
doing something to complement that gift, and I decided to do a piece
based on the sounds of springtime around our home. I did two versions,
one with a piano part added -- silly composer dad -- and one of
just the source recordings. Most of the sounds were recorded from
inside Lian's room (pictured above).
