Working on some ideas for a last-minute set, remembered this stack of self-help tapes that a friend found on the curb and passed on to me.

Impromptu for 4-string bass + effects.

Testing out some options for generating some nice drones with a four-string electric bass. Processing by Drolo Molecular Disruptor (envoloop reverb) and Pladask Fabrikat.

Using the panner on the bastl wizard to give some movement to a bass drone.
