Much of my free time over the last week has been directed toward migrating my websites to a new cloud instance, which also (due to the age of the codebase) means redeveloping them. So it's a work in progress.

Even so, I found some time to track a little guitar-and-pedal-steel thing. PureSalem Mendiola and no-name 10-string 1970s pedal steel in E9 tuning. There's the usual convolution reverb and mastering plugin, but otherwise no funny stuff.

The title comes from the minor planet 489 Comacina.

Keeping on with the krautrock experimentation, just getting a nice groove going.

Earlier in the week, my intent was to make a swing track. This is definitely not a swing track.

I wanted to make something faster paced. I also notice recently that I have a lot of sketches that I don't really love.. and just move on without really fleshing them out.

But this one I made today, and liked.. I did pull the drums for this off of another sketch.. and I was playing around with some effect swells, and panning.

Idk, overall it's fun and has emotion. Nothing crazy, but I like it.

EDIT: I re-uploaded the track because I realized that I messed up the EQ'ing pretty badly on the initial upload.. it made the whole track sound muffled due to a specific high/mid frequency being cut a LOT. Like instead of just lowering the volume on specific instruments or effects I tried to lower the volume on the whole frequency. I'm a genius xD

Mellow, chugging lo-fi house groove. Experimenting with melodies and counterpoint. I think it's ok. Comments welcome.
