A playful ode

A track quirky enough to be named after the protagonist of a science fiction movie series which was watched obsessively during the same period.

A two-chord crunchy guitar vamp driving the piece is accompanied by cut up sounds and an acoustic bass distorted into a nasal, square-wave howl.

Released as part of a collection of tracks by various artists, with a physical CD release now lost to time.

Recorded in a 8 m2 room (including bed) @ Wandelpad, Hilversum.
