<p>I was having trouble thinking of something to do. My other music projects were coming along slowly. I felt like playing guitar, so I decided it would be a good challenge to make something using only guitar and effects. I use a bunch of different delays. The ocean sound is a grain delay and I just rubbed the muted strings. The pops are plucking a muted string fairly hard. I time warped some stuff in weird ways, and reversed a solo that I played.</p>
<p>It ends abruptly because I didn&#8217;t feel like thinking of an ending, and I felt that posting the whole 4:00 was a little too much for this kind of thing. It was a fun experiment. I think I will challenge myself to little games like this more often.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I rarely make slow and quiet songs. In an effort to stretch my boundaries I created this song. It features a reversed vocal sample, and liberal use of delay. I added lots of clicking with Ableton&#8217;s vinyl distortion effect. I also used a percussion sample, triggered semi-randomly,  which was hooked to a random velocity effect. </p>
<p>It is a theme for lonely nights spent crossing wastelands, and resting in abandoned towns.</p>
