Appreciate your comment, friend. I'm kinda surprised by that considering this is probably the piece I experimented with the most and was most worried about its reception, but I'm happy you liked what you heard.
I'd probably agree with your comment about the deeper bass, that could've sound pretty cool to at least give that track a little more variation.
I think if I had interpreted the theme in any other way I would probably try do better work with EQ and muddy frequencies but, because I wanted to fully commit to the idea of an audio recording that's losing its clarity due to old age, I felt at the time that it'd be appropriate to have some parts of the piece sound a little muddier than normal 🙃
Thanks for taking the time to listen to my work :)
