Argos

Welcome back, everyone!
During 2021, I kept up over on Streak Club, and the last few months were all-guitar pieces. This one's a return to drums and bass as well, but kind of a drifting mood.
Drums: Ableton 64 pad kit Jazz, with automated on/off with membrane Corpus, convolution reverb send, and automated echo send. Max Humanizer throughout. The drum track is also going to the sends only--I wanted a distant feeling to the drums for this one.
Bass: 80s Epiphone P-J with both pickups on. EQ-8 bass rolloff (~6-9 dB) from 100-62 Hz.
Guitar: PureSalem Mendiola (two normal tracks, one reversed). No pedals (due to laziness).
Sends: two convolution reverbs (one with bass suppression) and one echo. Wide & Warm audio rack plugin on the output for compression/eq.
The title comes from a chain of association: this turns out to be the 419th weekly piece I've worked on, so I went looking for interesting associations with 419. It turns out that in BCE 419, Sparta's King Agis II attacked the city of Argos, which resisted enough to force a treaty. (The 419 scams weren't quite as interesting.)
Thank you for listening!
