Another one-guitar track, using the $60 Univox Coily in modified Fahey tuning. It's a slight deviation from the recent straight-into-the-converter practice, though: I just got a Reuss Effects Understate, and all tracks are going through it. (In retrospect, I should have done just one of the tracks through the Understate, but new-pedal-mania is a thing.) The Understate sounds glorious through an amp, though here it's direct, so the effect is a little less obvious than it would be with an amp involved. I used three tracks through most of this piece, though late in the piece there's an additional line that gets its own track. As usual, a bit of convolution reverb and compression/eq on the stereo bus.
After I uploaded, I found a slight crackle in one of the tracks in that four-track section (starting at 2:12), so I re-tracked it: it turned out to be my thumb pressing a string just low enough to contact a pickup. So now that's clean.
The title comes from the minor planet 531 Zerlina
