This past week I took the neck off the bass to tighten the truss rod nut, and after some service (graphite lubricant, tightening truss rod, then cleaning frets, then restringing), I found the bass was much more fun to play. So this one uses two tracks of bass (one P pickup, one J pickup) and two tracks of PureSalem Mendiola guitar (bridge pickup and neck pickup).

The writing process started with bass, and then finding a way of integrating guitar over that. There's a chordal change in the middle that I'm fond of.

No inline effects, but the usual convolution reverb and compression/eq on the mix.

The title comes from Col du Noyer in the French Alps, which has an elevation gain of 616m.

A simple Sunday track.
