Source notes:
- This track started while camping in Gifford Pinchot National Forest, WA. There was three minutes of space left on the SD card in my Tascam DR-40, and Joshua and I challenged ourselves to use that limited window of time to come up with the basis for a new track. Shortly thereafter, that series of short recordings was pieced together with my laptop plugged into the car speakers, while we drove through Oregon on the Erothyme Summer 2019 Pacific Northwest mini-tour.
- The waterfall audible around 3:07-3:48ish was recorded in Gifford Pinchot National Forest, WA.
- In the intro you can hear campfire crackles. The sound of the same campfire being put out with water appears 2:08-2:14ish.
- Joshua's lead vocals were recorded in a car, on the way to catch my flight home at the end of my Autumn 2019 tour, making this recording basically the last thing I did on the west coast before the pandemic.

Panther Crick (feat. Joshua Gerald)

Few things could be so clarifying,
so grounding, or so expansive,
as time spent appreciating
the vast looming mystery
of the stars with whom
we share this Cosmos.

Featured musicians:

Bobby West
- Korg Monologue
(Sept 2019 in Boulder, CO)
- Overtone Vocals
(Feb 2020 in Longmont, CO)

Source notes:
- shimmery texture created by running one of ILAS's guitar parts from Steep Dreams through Audiobulb AMBIENT-v4.
- harmonic 7ths are awesome.
- this track was written in a different key and then slowed down.
- extended ambient outro made possible by Paulstretch.
