While I lost the raw sample itself when a 1 gig of my samples got eaten by the ghosts in my desktop ( ), that signal chain was Monotribe>Misty Cave>Count to Five>Small Echo Array> RM1N, which I doubled in Ableton adding a 100% wet signal made up of Ableton's grain delay with my own particular patch [duh].

A couple days later, Mick went to work on it in Reaver and set it back to me with the guitar parts (no idea what he used). I added the Dub-style opener bit and the the 'deep noises' in Ableton but otherwise left it untouched.

Then like a month later he sent me the bit that would become Bya Gtor -- it's an acoustic guitar and some kind of crazy Cologne magic (including that degredation you hear) and you can hear it in the raw from about :18-:42, after the intro (which is a version of the file I treated) and before when what I added starts to kick in. The drone you hear behind the guitar track was built with a Drone Commander + Denormalizer + RM1N and then run through Ableton (go figure) specifically the Resonator and Reverb, with some subtle ping-pong panning delay and a flanger for some movement.

The "Monks chanting" bit you hear (check 6:18 for an easy reference) alongside that is actually another copy of Mick's track that I applied my 'deep noises' logic to until I liked it/felt it represented what is my preferred sonic element in a context that worked within the piece.
