Back after a lengthy absence from the Disquiet Junto.

The prompt aligned perfectly with my ongoing research into bell-like tones through ring modulation and frequency shifting, inspired by Oren Ambarchi's work, in particular "Grapes From The Estate" (Touch). 
Electric guitar, mostly harmonics, through ring mod plus some atrocious, violent guitar bits and bobs from my archive. 

Hope you enjoy!

A sweet side of coldest morning ...
