I wrote this piece many years ago. I think it was influenced by Black Sabbath's Embryo, but I didn't notice the influence until sometime after I composed it.
The piece is in C major and alternates between two pedal tones. First, I use A as a pedal tone. The C major scale is then heard in the Aeolian mode. Then, I switch to the E pedal tone. The C major scale is then hear in the Phrygian mode.
I recorded several versions. All of them had flaws. I'm quickly learning that recordings are merciless about small errors that would go unnoticed by most listeners at a live performance. I don't have the luxury of time to be picky. I chose the recording that captured the feeling I want for the piece, though it wasn't necessarily the best executed. I used my Walden Natura DC550CE for the recording.
