G.r.e.g H.a.r.w.o.o.d Too many beautiful tracks on this album. Rekindle takes you on a sumptuous woodland journey - so organic and earthy. Waves too is very restful and meditative. Another piece of art from Aukai! Favorite track: Waves.

Ben Leathley Beautiful ambient/neo-classical which just evokes nature to an astonishing degree. Game trails - but also forest paths, mountain streams, and green fields. An amazing channeling of nature into a lovely album.

bluekros This album is different. More beats, sometimes even tribal beats. But it's stll Aukai. Track 3 "waves" very unexpected at the end. Beats, tribal, wabbering synths...what the hell? Absolutely stunning, love this new additonal energy in this album. Thank youuuu.... Favorite track: Waves.

released August 28, 2020

Game trails are animal paths in the wilderness created over generations.
Following them can open a lot of intuitive knowledge about an untapped wild area.
The music on this album is mostly related to my encounters with places of pristine nature over the last 2 years. May it be numerous walks in the mountains at my home base in Colorado, a canoe
day on a lake in the Yucatan, standing on a ridge in the Rhodope Mountains in Bulgaria or tracking wild hot springs in Iceland, many of these places struck a chord in me from which key elements for these musical pieces emerged.

My deepest gratitude to all the incredible musicians, artist and people how have been involved in
the creation of this album.
