Here’s what happened:
I was working on a mix with material from Doxent Zsigmond (piano) and robwalkerpoet (shakuhachi and harmonica) but it wasn’t working so I deleted the beats and bass and slowed it to twenty five percent (thanks Reaper) then erased the parts I didn’t like and stitched the remaining parts back together. Then I added a quiet synth and a recording I had of a traffic jam I was in recently (hot summer evening, a downpour had just ended and there was a semi-truck adjacent to my vehicle). Topped it with a sprinkling of normal speed shakuhachi from robwalkerpoet’s Old Cube.
