Matrix by Sirmick

Taper Notes:

View NotesNotes:

- Before undertaking the matrix I made some further improvements to 27591.  During the preparation I removed a repeated section of about 9 seconds and patched a missing section of about 22 seconds
- After the matrix had been made the high end was very bright in places so I sweetened it a little.

So here it is.

I tried a number of different mixes before I settled on this one, which I found the most pleasing.
I'm not convinced that it has achieved what was hoped for but any Dark Star is a thing of beauty so......

I did consider including "St. Stephen" and "Love Light" but it was necessary to make most adjustments at about 15 second intervals and some substantially less.  I don't have that much time or patience to spare right now.

I created the matrix with Adobe Audition 3 and finalised it with iZotope RX7 Advanced.
