Back to the somewhat organic put-some-beats-together during the week methodology, with some minimal-techno influence, but it got away from me toward maximalism.  I also used Ableton's Sampler with grand piano, but threw a bit of vibrato on there with auto-panning for something different.  Tracked a bunch of guitar (Kalamazoo and Moog, clean and through the Repeater Fuzz, all with the Amp plugin on Clean), threw a bunch out, and what remained got in there.  Cut down from 15+ minutes.

The title is a reference to the elevation of Wagman Observatory, where I spent a bit of time last night.

Organic is definitely the operative word. Subdued but filled with tension.

The only time I was in Pittsburg the night sky was a reddish haze (this was when all the mills were still going full-blast).

Thanks, Jim!

It's rather different now--though for astronomy, you do have to get away from the city to avoid light pollution.  (That said, there are still some air-quality issues, but not from the now-gone steel mills.)
