NOTES:
A complex modular patch with up to nine sound sources contributing to the mix. Rain patter moves around in the stereo field while pulsing drones and occasional static and delayed distant percussion punctuates the composition. Master FX are Volante and Deco for delay and tape saturation, and UA Golden Plate 140 for reverb.

The track title is inspired by the 1980 Rendlesham Forest UFO sightings and Gary Heseltine's riveting and deeply researched account of those events in the book "NON-HUMAN".

RECORDING
Everything is recorded direct with no post aside from some compression, normalization, and limiting.
