I used to do more ambient soundscape things (mostly at 3am, and then let them play and loop themselves while I sleep), though I hadn't in some time. Recently I've done a few, though, and I decided I was going to do one for my weekly beat this week. Turned into a bit of a struggle, though - perhaps because I wasn't doing it at 3am? Perhaps I was trying to make it A Thing too much. Perhaps I was going too overboard and throwing too many effects in there.

Ended up making like 4-5 misguided attempts; edited this final selection out of a 20 minute pass filled with errors and random aggravating volume blasts. Not fully happy with it, probably mostly because I know my struggle working through it, but I'm pleased that at least my edits seem relatively subtle.
