Description

Also known as the Summoning Salt intro. A great song. The tuning is interesting; it's a mixture of just intonation and ET, but everything is downtuned about 25 cents. I determined the tuning mostly by ear so I probably got some stuff wrong. The tuning really contributes to the spacey vibe, especially that high C# in the repeated synth solo that just seems to soar in the air.

The arp was difficult to transcribe in some spots, particularly at the end of each phrase where it kind of spazzes out into some G minor arpeggio. Its offset relative to the pulse—the definition of which is subjective at the beginning of the piece!—changes several times. There is an error circa 1:53 where the kick and snare drop out and the accent pattern on the hi-hat is different.

I'm aware the music goes across quite fast. I wasn't sure how to squish the notes further.
