Well, okay, the size isn’t big, but here be Heffalumps.

Here’s another guitar and keyboards piece. The inspiration came from watching something on TV where elephants were being ridden upon. It was probably the very nice Michael Palin doing that travelly sort of thing he seems to spend lots of time doing now he’s not a Python.

I was jiggerizing around with a guitar and a delay pedal in the lounge room while the TV was on, and plucking harmonics in time with the roll of the elephant ride.

This is what it became. [Size: 5.0 MB] or try here if Sharebee is being difficult again.

Here’s a slightly stereo-enhanced version. [Size: 5.3 MB] or try here otherwise – Sharebee was still cactus as this was published.

Here’s The Sultan’s Elephant, which is truly spectacular.
