An 'Ambient Harmonic Series' exploration using bass guitar harmonics. These overones create an 'ambiguous' tonality (which is something of a new area for me) I've always found these harmonics / overtones to be fascinating - evocative of wide, open spaces with the wind blowing through mysterious resonanting structures.

All the sounds on the track were created from recordings of bass guitar harmonics - recording each string in different pitches, creating chordal clusters as well as single notes, sweeps etc.. I was able to record up to the 5th or 6th overtones, but they were too quiet to use after that.
