Infinite Return

I really enjoyed putting this week's tune together - it was nice to get a little more speed going and play something almost like bluegrass. I am kind of embarrassed, though, by the obvious bleed through of the click track - it's the musical equivalent of walking around with your zipper open, I guess. And it doesn't help when your rhythm is as far from perfect as mine is!

But even so, it's kind of a melancholy-conquered-by-joy thing. Starts out sad, ends up happy. And except for some equalizing and filtering out the high end hiss, there are no effects. Here I have these beautiful instruments, and I'm always trying to "layer" them with effects. Not this week. What you hear is what I hear (click track included...). Including a 6Hz SBaGen-derived binaural beat for some relaxation.

The End of Time

Another motif piece, but one which spreads out nicely with another 30Hz beat. Like some of its better predecessors, such as Rejoice and Alpha Three, this week's episode fills out with some decent ambience that entertains without distracting. You can latch on or just drift. Drift away.
