This started as a version of Over the Hills and Far Away, but I dropped the vocal track and let the vistas open out into pure ambient revellry. As it stands it becomes a piece of sea-side ambience inspired by lazing around the beach of late on tranquil sunny days looking over to Black Combe & Barrow-in-Furness from Cleveleys (click on above picture for the bigger view). Essentially an improvisation on 5-string violin (C-string tuned up to D) with electric bass ostinato and various ambient drones & bleeps on the Kaossilator, the piece becomes a hommage to minimalism with obvious debts to be acknowledged to the Penguin Cafe, the Soft Machine, Gong and the Third Ear Band...
Lovely stuff going on here Sean! Thanks for sharing this.
