I recorded this track with a Yamaha Pacifica Strat replica, a Behringer AC108 tube amp an a Boss/Roland Micro BR-80 digital mutlitrack recorder. I played two tracks guitar and one bass with the Roland's guitar-to-bass-function. I added some audio clips from diverse radio news programs on hurricane Katrina that destroyed prats of the south eastern US in 2005. In the documentary tracks there are quotes of George Bush jr., Milton Friedman and Naomi Klein included.
