Deep Time: tingsha, rainstick_slow, finger cymbals, low singing bowl

Browse Source 
Etheric/gypsy intro texture:
- Tingsha strikes every 3 bars, ringing in taj mahal reverb
- Rainstick slow wash every 4 bars
- Finger cymbal accents scattered through first 16 bars
- Deep singing bowl (B1) every 8 bars
All fade out as the drones take over.
