notes
A 2 saw -1 synth bass carries the low end, low-pass filtered at 24 dB/oct, cutoff around 3693 Hz with modest resonance, sitting mono and tight against the drum machine to anchor the track. Fits the widescreen, melancholy Architecture & Morality period, built on tape-loop Mellotron strings and choir.
