- moody ambient loops, drifting from right to left and back again.
- main theme on acst gtr over the top, verbed – 2 mins of this intro
- some of the loops drop out the moment the acst gtr strumming comes in, dbled and hard panned
- then heavy gtrs, bass and drums come in, cutting out the acst strumming, plus screaming and spoken word
- wobbly piano plays theme over it all
- majority of this section (screaming vox, gtrs and drums) sounds muffled, like a bad demo tape
- spoken word, hard left, is clear and hi fi in comparison
- stops suddenly
KEY IDEAS to plunder
- muffled, like a bad demo tape – as effect when contrasted either with previous section or with instrument on top
- sudden cuts and edits between sections and sudden ending
