notes
A slow-moving saw + pulse pad washes under the verses, low-pass filtered at 24 dB/oct, cutoff around 8672 Hz with modest resonance, giving the arrangement its atmosphere and sustain. Fits the deliberately austere Dazzle Ships sessions, mixing shortwave radio samples with Prophet-5 and Mellotron.
