This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0717: Generation Gambit. The Assignment: Layer two eras of recordings, one of them imaginary.
Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0717 discussion thread on Lines:
I imagined non-human ancestors, perhaps insect-like creatures, that lived hundreds of millions of years ago, that created a form of communication that could be considered musical. These sounds were somehow embedded within resonating rocks and stones. Using a newly developed form of technology, I was able to extract these sounds, and record my improvisation over it, resulting in the track presented here.

In reality, the base track was created using a noise box with a contact mic. The audio was routed through Vongon Ultrasheer and Polyphrase effect pedals, then recorded into Ableton Live. From there, I added additional tracks with Slate + Ash Primaries Strings plugin. No additional effects were added.
