It's also important to note that this was almost entirely improvised.
Distant Relative of Nihilism is done on a guitar prepared with a found piece of metal and tuned to a chord that I liked. Then I wrote out seventy five rhythms in class and progressed through them all while improvising the melodies.

What's a drone tuning?
