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.

Here's a REALLY "old" one! This must be from around 2003 or so - the second recording session at Oxbow Studios - came in with a sketch, a week or two later in Berkeley with a Moog and there's a song! I played my Gibson EB-2 bass with fuzz and Greg DeGuglielmo is playing drums, Micromoog overdubs by hieronymous.

Composed by Bridge.
Original recording by Damon Burke at the original Oxbow Studios in Wayland, MA. 
Synth overdubs done at the Institute of Buddhist Studies dormitory in Berkeley, CA.

hieronymous is an ongoing instrumental music project, centered on the bass guitar and drums - the music is mainly improvisational, following the "instant composition" style pioneered by Can, Miles Davis, the Grateful Dead, etc.
