Process

I played jaspertine's track a few times, to get the feel and mood. It just made me feel like floating, and so that gave me the theme to work on.

Added a clean guitar track, toyed with some melodies. Settled on a built-up/ layering effect rather than any guitar solos. Experimented with a few software instrument sounds. I'm in the Asian-theme mood, so that's why you're hearing the Erhu, Bansuri Flute, Japanese Drums and all that. Finally topped up the track with a bass layer.

Other Notes

I don't think I came back down after this. :)
