The mysterious power of Kha-Tess alternates between sleep and wakefulness. Certain sounds can call it out of its slumber, to unleash it on unsuspecting auditors...

Kha-Tess Tetralogy

All of these tracks were recorded with Gibson basses through distortion or fuzz pedals, often with filters as well

fuzzy gibsons

Bass, drum programming: hieronymous
Almost all the bass tracks are a late-'60s Gibson Melody Maker Bass with various distortion pedals and Moog delay. The only non-Gibson section is the clean bass under one of the solos, which is a Fender Japan Mustang Bass reissue.
Drums were done in Garage Band.
I don't remember exactly when I recorded it, but my best guess is sometime in 2006 in Kyoto, Japan.
