going ACW quite fast

dry +15, a fair amount of reverb B -165

panner running at several Hz and SuperVerb
Strings: wineglass sample recorded with the
cheap soundfield mike dead ahead in UHJ and loaded as stereo
into Helios sampler, then played back through UHJ and speaker
feed decoder using +/- 30 degree feeds, returning these to the
PC via the pan-rotate positioning these feeds at -60 and -120 on
the right. Not as outrageously complex as it sounds. Could have
recorded the sample at the right soundstage location on the mic
in the first place but then it would have been single-use only.
Cocktail Shaker: Recorded about 2 metres from
the cheap soundfield in the kitchen direct to B-format. This was
going to be a real Vodka-Martini being made in a cocktail shaker
to celebrate the last track but it turned out that the packet of
Bigga marrowfat peas used to check the levels with sounded
better and chucking some ice cubes into a beerglass at the end
was more sensible than covering the kitchen with Smirnoff and
Happy Shopper Vervini Vermouth.
Ting: Recorded direct to B format in the
correct soundstage location close to the mic.
