Good Friday is such an odd, quiet day, so I spent some time expanding on yesterday's sketch -- now it's basically a cover of the first two minutes of Sixtyniner. A few of the background details are missing, and the drums aren't quite right, but the rest of it sounds pretty close to the original to me.

I haven't done many covers in the past, but they're an interesting exercise -- reverse-engineering a track like this is a great way to practice my synth skills, and by learning how other people make music, I can discover tricks and techniques that might help my own music in the future.
