Ambient drone by Daniel Burke (who's been doing this for ~30 years), mastered by Thomas Dimuzio. Psychy touches here and there; guitars, synths, and field recordings compose much of this album, along with the occasional tape cuts and interference.

*A1 (6:08) Chugging, shuffling low field recordings in the background sound like a train and the backmasked voices of a crowd of chidren. Sparse, haunting pings and echoes of guitar and synth float around in the foreground, a few ambient-noisy guitar plucks near the end

A2 (5:45) Digimechanical beeps pulsate around a vibrating, bassy drone that gives in and out. Pretty quiet during the downtimes early on. Organic, oceanic, seagully, detached second half.

**B (10:15) Digital buzzes/chirps open, waves of instrumentation follow. Some melodic ambient prettiness, the occasional noisy interjection. Really great instrumental passages all along the way, with a decent amount of acoustic guitar
