Reverence

I really like this week's episode - like many of these tunes, it's a bit heavy on the repetition, but what I generally try to do is create something that will hold your attention for a minute and then fade into the background. But the whole experience should be relaxing, and that's certainly what this episode achieves.

It's also probably the most balanced episode so far, in terms of performance and sound quality, with very little in the way of unwanted noise and effect glitches. The acoustic and electric banjo come together well here, and for a real change I actually used synth for the melody. The 8Hz beat once again comes courtesy of SBaGen. And for all the banjo players out there, the electric banjo roll is right out of Earl Scrugg's version of Sally Goodin... That roll by itself has brought me back from the brink of frustration so many times. If you ever need a real soul booster, there's nothing like it.
