Process
I edited Bottoms Up bass to combine its bass lines into a shorter piece.
I time-stretched the warm tremelo twang
Then I put the samples into Noiser, which alters samples. After the samples cooked, crock-pot-like, overnight in Noiser, I recorded several different samples, edited out sections I did not like, and then cobbled the whole together in Audacity into one song.
Other Notes
I wanted to use pastiche compositional methods while still creating a more or less conventional song.
The melancholy in the tremelo twang reminded me of the indistinct yet poignant memories of a close relationship after its conclusion.
