Been working with my live music partners (T&G) in Imperfect Product since 1993. Just now we are collaborating on a track for the Dark Outside radio project (https://www.darkoutside.co.uk/) and the basic beat in this came from a small excerpt from my good friend G that we didn't get round to using - thanks G.

Bass - Warwick Corvette 5-string through Native Instruments GR6.
Guitar - Suhr Classic Custom through NI GR6 and Arturia Efx Fragments.
Pads - Spitfire BankFor.ms, NI Super 8, NI Playbox.
Drums - sample from G... cut and processed.
Mastered - Ozone Elements.
