The Clouds

This one came together over a few very short sessions late Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday. I'd first started with the intuitive 10-beat bass figure over a click, and then responded to that with another bass line, and then drums. After that, I tracked two tracks of guitar responses. Does it hang together? It might be a touch better with additional editing time, but I uploaded three minutes before the deadline, so here's what it is.
Bass: the usual Epiphone P-J, on both pickups. The bassier one has EQ-8 low-end rolloff.
Guitar: PureSalem Mendiola (both pickups). One got Ableton Cabinet, and one got high-pass Auto-Filter.
Drums: Ableton 64 Pad Kit Jazz, with Max Humanizer, and every eighth bar going through Spectral Time with freeze. There's also send to a delay channel.
There are two convolution reverbs (small room and larger room), of which everything got a little. There's also the usual Wide & Warm finishing preset.
The title comes from Aristophanes' play The Clouds debuting in 423 BCE.
