As the distance between the person and the ground decreases, the brain interprets the perceived speed of the ground as increasing, leading to the sensation of "ground rush." This phenomenon can create a heightened sense of speed and urgency as the ground appears to be rapidly approaching.<br /> As I’m getting older I realise the Ground Rush sensation also applies to life!<br /> <br /> #cigarboxguitar #3string #singersongwriter #groundrush #irishwhistle #livelooping tag:www.cigarboxnation.com,2023-12-16:2592684:Video:3808029 2023-12-16T19:09:49.711Z bemuzic https://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/bemuzic

It ended up longer than I intended! If you don’t have time for 10mins, the second half is worth watching for the amazing clouds..and the women at the end made my day by singing along to a silly song I'd written for my Grandchildren :-)<br /> <br /> #cigarboxguitarnation #cigarboxguitar #3stringguitar #homemadeguitar #homemadesax #pvcpipedidgeridoo #busking #buskinglife #streetperformer #lofi #singersongwriter #cambridge #clouds #timelapse #livelooping #zoomq8 #folkmusic tag:www.cigarboxnation.com,2023-02-22:2592684:Video:3754709 2023-02-22T13:51:23.600Z bemuzic https://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/bemuzic

Hoffman, and Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake.<br /> <br /> I decided to buy the Zoom Q8, to simplify things when doing videos. It has 2 XLR/1/4” combo inputs, plus it’s own mics. I went from the back of my amp to a DI, then into one of the inputs, and combined that with the cameras mics. I still need to try a few more settings, but quite pleased with this for a first attempt..
