This is from local artist, Preston Lee, who put together this mix over time, mixing and remixing it since 2000 to current date. He describes the piece as:

A constantly evolving dream of slowly drowning in a pool of water. Originally conceived as an acoustic guitar solo played in bell tones, it was moved to electronic medium in Cakewalk for orchestral score. The score later migrated to Sonar XL and eventually to Logic Pro where it was resampled with 24-bit synthesizers. It has been remixed in over a dozen different orchestrations along the way, though most have been lost.

All drum tracks were manually sequenced using an Alesis SR-16 for live play, and imported via MIDI for remixing. Organs, pianos, mallets, strings and all other instruments were originally recorded from live performance and later synthesized using EXS24, Sculpture, EVB3, EVP88, Ultrabeat and other tools.
