Deep Time: stereo spread, three reverb spaces, delay on percussion

Browse Source 
17 parts spread across the field. Taj_mahal for drones/bowls,
cathedral for choir/cello/didge/rain, algorithmic for cymbals.
Long delays on tingsha/bowls/fingers (1.5s at 40 BPM). Theremin
restrained. Cello in cathedral with gentle delay. Sub_osc on earth.
