This one's odd. After several weeks of fairly naturalistic playing, I thought to do something with severely edited sounds--short cuts out of longer-duration chords and intervals. The signal chain was PureSalem Mendiola through Balls Effects KWB distortion (to a greater or lesser extent, depending on the clip), and into Vox Wah for tone shaping. The middle and end sections reveal a bit more of the original playing, but a lot of this is edited down from that. One emergent riff came from copying and pasting the short clips over some previous material--I wouldn't have arrived at this riff otherwise.

There's some convolution reverb and the usual wide&warm preset for compression/eq, but no funny stuff other than the hard edits.

The title comes from A493 in Wales, which (according to Wikipedia) avoids the town of Cross Foxes.

Protracker mod file this week, just a simple and clicky, faintly dubby sound.

A simple track.

I really love this one.

Definitely wanted to make it longer.

but it's pretty dope as is.. and I could always ruin it by making it longer so.
