Euryanthe

A very busy weekend for Reasons (though some of those reasons involve building a new guitar), so here's a short piece on $60 Univox hollowbody in a variant of John Fahey's C tuning. (This variant is currently Bb F Bb F Bb C. I was keeping it a half-step higher, but with the wood shrinking in the dry winter air, I decided to keep it at the lower tension for now.)
There's some convolution reverb (with an automated increase in reverb send toward the end), compression/eq on the stereo mix, and an automated fade-out. Otherwise, just straight to the UA Volt-1. Also just three tracks (bridge, neck, both pickups on the same guitar).
The title comes from the minor planet 527 Euryanthe, which apparently is named after Weber's opera. It's worth going down the Wikipedia hole there, for the savagely critical opinions about the libretto. I mean, damn.
