This downtempo piece begin on a low pitched detuned guitar sampled from a vinyle full of cracks. Old and unwanted 1 euro vinyle in second-hand music stores are still a good option to find an intro or two where some sound loops are useable.

I then played the xylophone synth over it, following a kind of ritual and hypnotic ambiance. One reason is that the track was inspired from a visit in the Khmer outstanding temples of Angkor Wat.
The monk's dawn chant rising in the second part of the track has been recorded there.
