Artist notes:
This piece came about one afternoon when I was in my studio micing a classical guitar while running it through some effects into a separate channel. Nothing too complicated. There was a period where I was exploring this set up without much of a plan, seeing where it could go. An afternoon exercise. Like most of these days, I recorded this piece and put it aside for a while, not really thinking it would be worth sharing. I came back to it while I was driving, and thought it captured something I wasn't aware of at the time. Perhaps it's a driving song.The movement while listening helped me hear it differently.

I hope this track can conjure up some kind of peaceful trajectory.

Recorded in Dumbo, Brooklyn January 2024 by Steve Gunn.
