This piece is based on a patch that was used for the live performance on Piqued 18, which occurred on January 27, 2021, which can be viewed on the Piqued YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5oxmhWRaG4&t=5321s&ab_channel=Piqued). This track is fairly close to that performance, although at the point this was recorded, I had more practice time to discover some things that worked and didn't work in the original. The echo lengths were adjusted slightly, samples were triggered correctly this time, and the more relaxed part of the track at the end that features the 2HP Pluck was extended a bit longer and blended a bit better into the part of the track before it.

The track was built originally around the Aaliyah a cappella sample from "One in a Million" and MF Doom from "It Ain't Nuttin'", and piano samples from J Dilla and Nujabes were added to bookend a dedication of sorts to artists who are no longer with us. This track uses very nearly all my eurorack modules, a Korg SQ-1, a Koma Electronik Field KIt, Samson MixPad 9, and a TC Electronic Flashback pedal.
