"I isolated 6 elements from the recording which were lightly treated with a few effects (reverb, EQ, etc): the regular bleeping sound in the original has become the chirping crickets. The voice and laugh were left untreated, as was the motorbike. The car horn was used in various ways: the stab sound, a slight paulstretch at the beginning and end, the didgeridoo-like sound, the phased, treated 8-bar sounds (x3) towards the end of the piece. A bit of background was also used. To this I added a big-standard bass, bass-drum and 2 arpeggios (left and right speakers), and a xylophone.
"The piece has a tense, slightly panicked feel to it, I think, due in part to the bass line and xylophone part. The arpeggio part flows (cascades) on the outer edges of the piece, and the piece starts slow but rushes along at the end. It sounds simply but all the parts are quite elaborate (dressy)."
