This one's back in the three-track-of-guitar territory, though my tracking/composition process was a little different. For most of these, I'll record a motif, respond to it with two other motives. I'll mute two of them and then record two more in response to one of them, then mute that previous one and respond to the just-recorded others, repeating the process until I have as much material as I want, or want to create something different as a contrasting section.

For this one, I recorded a motif, responded to it in two other tracks, and then moved on to a new motif, without playing against the previous motives. The result...maybe had a little more variation and required a little more care in editing sections together. One interesting side effect was a key change between two motives and the other four.

This one's three tracks of PureSalem Mendiola, recorded straight to the UA Volt-1. There's a bit of convolution reverb send from each track, and compression/eq on the stereo mix.

The title comes from minor planet 597 Bandusia.

Just wanted to do something where I took a basic sequence and tried to create a texture with it, and I reckon it worked.

A track inspired by cave art made by our ancestors. They drew wonderful animals and great hordes, but there are no paintings of humans. Only these hands on the walls, as if something stopped them from drawing their likeness.

So many caves that are just a shadow, a fragment of great myths and ceremonies, mysteries of the lives and alien minds of our ancestors, most likely forever lost to time.
