Another track is in the works, with bass and drum tracks in the can. I'm shooting to complete electric and possibly acoustic guitars over the weekend. Again the drumming of Frank Basile is featured.

I should have a rough mix posted over the next week or so.

The piece has the working title "Autumn" and is in part based on an Irish folk melody of the same name. When we started working on the last Electrum album we were running with a concept of pulling influences from different cultures. Gino's material focused on Eastern and Mid-Eastern influences while I was focused on pulling melodic ideas out of European folk music. Since that project came to a screeching halt due to logistics and time we decided to start over again with a blank canvas later this Spring or Summer. So sprinkled throughout my record are leftover ideas like the introduction and main theme in this piece.

Heh, reminds me. Last January was Electrums 10th Aniversary. Weird.
