mind your volume for that first like 10 seconds. lmao. look at the midi below

i always wanted to try my hand at black midi... this is an extremely gentle foray into that because i hadn't made anything until today 🤡 2 hour effort lmao

there are 1861 notes so like this is pretty weak by black midi standards LMAO. it's really more 'play the right chords but on every octave at once' than true black midi

I've been getting the sense of changing things up a bit, and this piece is both a different guitar ($35 baglama-tuned Heit Deluxe) and the re-emergence of electric bass guitar. The guitar is tuned GgDDAa, so the outer courses are a fundamental + octave string, with the inner course at unison.

As often happens when I have an abbreviated time for tracking (short sessions Friday and Saturday nights), I end up with a lengthier editing session on Sunday. Still, it kind of hangs together. The notion of adding bass came to me Saturday after the first tracking of just guitar. With the octave courses and unison course, this guitar sounds fairly thick, and takes up a lot of the sonic spectrum in its range...but that leaves available frequencies in the bass range.

No inline effects, but there's a convolution reverb send from each track, and compression/eq on the stereo mix.

The title comes from minor planet 594 Mireille.
