epimethean cratering


track: 23

recorded: 20170903

duration: 5:00

type: semiambient


take 8 of 11 on the day,


take eight on the day, "epimethean cratering" involves the saturnian moon "epimetheus" (who was, of course, prometheus' brother) and indeed, prometheus and epimetheus are both satellites of the gas giant saturn.

I think I felt a bit sorry for old epimetheus, because so many people are familiar with prometheus, but not so much his epimethean brother.

because they were brothers, I have used two of the same voice again in this case, which happened to be my favourite from the previous take, "trail pad" - so this is two instances of "trail pad" working together to create this piece - which, while active in terms of motion, has actually turned out far more ambient than I ever intended - thanks mainly to the sheer beauty of the patch "trail pad" - one of the nicest, albeit organ-like patches on the TC-11 - a very pleasant sound, and when you use two together, in "double stereo" - the sound can be truly lovely..
