#Jamuary 2024 [Jan16]

This began as a mere technical test of certain properties of the Knas Ekdahl Moisturizer using filter pings from a BugBrand Board Chirper. I ended up liking the "Raymond Scott slowly filling a rec center indoor pool" sound of it too much, so I added a slow looping delay in Logic (SoundToys PrimalTap) and recorded a lengthy pass with occasional knob twiddles on the Board Chirper and manipulation of its on/off switch towards the end. Then I spent far too long adding a few more effects for spatialization and making the mix more interesting.

Titled after what the experience of making it became.
