about

This piece was an experiment for me. I wanted to create a bass guitar sonic collage. Everything on this piece was done on an electric bass. The opening lava like sounds were created with a Line 6 Bass Pod. The mysterious deep glissandos that follow were created using a MTD fretless bass, a volume pedal, echo, and reverb. Some of the sections were inspired by the sounds produced by the various effects units I was using at the time.
