WESTE

A vibey little piece in modified Fahey tuning. Wednesday night I had a thought to collect some weekly pieces to release for Bandcamp Friday, pulling together 10 pieces from earlier this year. Most of these are on the PureSalem, but I was drawn to the feeling of the Univox hollowbody in Bb F C tuning, and decided to use that this week.

I'd had a thought of using a lot of processing on this one, but in actually tracking, the music just...appeared, and it didn't seem right to mess it all up. A few of these measures are short, and timing is a bit elastic in places, but it flows.

No inline effects, just some convolution reverb send, and multiband compression/eq on the stereo out.

The title comes from the port town of Passage West, on Ireland's R610 road.

I am not feeling much energy today. I used the ambiance of a forest with some morning birds singing and started playing some non sequitur guitar lines. This is the track.

[edited] The first version was way too birdy so I fixed the mix.
