notes
The song's signature is a relentless sequenced 16th-note bass pulse, a square wave through a resonant low-pass filter that snaps on every step rather than sweeping smoothly, functioning as both the bassline and a rhythmic arpeggio. A slap delay reinforces the machine-tight subdivision under the reversed-guitar textures elsewhere in the mix.
