notes
The dark atmospheric pad on "Hymn" (Charlotte De Witte) is a devotional, sustained pad closing out the album's mid-section. Built from 1 saw -1 + 1 square -1 stacked, pushed through a lp 12 db/oct, slow-moving filter around 2345 Hz with 0.07 resonance, then left clean for grit and glued into the mix with long hall reverb, wide stereo chorus, sidechained to the kick so it pumps under the beat.
