This one started with some Freddy Green chordal shapes, and a deliberate choice to stay away from the arpeggiated fingerpicking thing I'd been doing a lot of. The tempo was a little faster, as well, leading to some unexpected places: some of these sections are more rhythmic than I'd been doing, and the different sections interact with the tempo a bit differently, giving a sense of flow--pushing forward, then pausing to contemplate.

Guitar: the PureSalem Mendiola, with a bit of Ableton's Roar plugin on the left and right channels to add a bit of grit. There's a bit of convolution reverb send on each channel to give a "room" sense, and the usual compression/eq on the stereo mix.

The title comes from a nature preserve outside of Manchester, off of the A624.
