After that Tunestorm bit I've been keen to try something different and experiment more with ambient sounds, and this sketch is definitely ambient! There's no rhythm or melody -- just a simple held chord, evolving over time. You won't walk away humming it, but if you're after something relaxing, it might fit the bill.

It's essentially a seven-minute filter sweep, but there's a tonne of little variations bubbling away inside that sound, so I gave it the time I thought it needed to explore the how the sound changes with every step of that filter. I had it running through my VM1 analogue delay pedal, too, so I turned some knobs on that for good measure as well.
