Some random nature-inspired German rap (buth of course actually about self-description of the rappers themselfs): Even with a David-Attenborough sample as intro: Juse Ju’s “Racoon”, inspired by the racoon
and here Beginner’s “Füchse” inspired by foxes

When my husband and I were courting, one evening he put on a record (vinyl) of “classical” music. It wasnt familiar to me. I was listening to it, eyes closed, and said, “it sounds like a snow covered landscape”. (We dont have snow in Northern New Zealand but I had powerful fond memories of snow from a childhood in England). He smiled and said “It’s by Sibelius, and that’s what it is about”.
I was impressed at how the composer had been able to so evocatively express something without words.
Husband and I spent many years playing and singing non-classical music and I eventually wrote a lot of songs then thanks to digital audio software composed bits and pieces with an orchestral sound library.
Words always came easily to me, but my aim has long been to be able to express “big things” in wordless music, in the manner (I wish!) of Sibelius’ “snow music” and Handel’s “Dixit Dominus”.
Occasionally I succeed on a small scale. In a multi track recording of my song “Kaipatiki” , gentle guitar arpeggios behind vocals, the unceasing flow, hesitancies and side-steps of the many-layered guitar phrases are, to me at least, serendipitously reflective of the way the Kaipatiki Stream sparkles and tumbles over pebbles between fern covered banks.
