The ambient drone of this song was actually created not by a synth, but by my voice and acoustic guitar. I had been working on a folk song and it just wasn't going anywhere. I decided to start mangling the signal. I ended up feeding it through an effects processor that generates tuned sympathetic resonant frequencies. I liked where this was going. A simple synth lead sound was added over the melodic drone to give it a bit of character. The percussive click sounds actually came from the back of my throat.

I wanted to create a sense of mystery with this piece. It's meant to be a bit pensive and introspective.
