Lake in the Clouds

With a live in-person performance this week (the second of the pandemic), I didn't get to this track at all until Friday night, when I put down some drum machine, thinking the track might be a return to guitar/bass/drums.
It's been a while since I've used the rubab-inspired resonator network, so I dusted that off for processing a lead line (some of which remains here), and added chordal rhythm guitar. For a different flavor, I also tracked some guitar through the Balls Effects KWB (inspired by the MXR distortion+), and then tracked a bit more rubab-processed guitar in response.
At this point...I pulled out the drums, so this one's another all-guitar thing, but with different tonal voices.
Effects: rhythm guitar got inline high-pass Auto-Filter with drive, while the banjo-like voice got the effect rack of Ableton Corpus resonators (both string and membrane, tuned like a rubab). The stereo mix got the usual Wide & Warm preset eq/compression.
Sends: Valhalla Supermassive, room-sized convolution reverb, Ableton Echo.
The title comes from a lake in Pennsylvania, along PA route 447.
