The track contains some noise which is not decipherable on the smartphone recording that was taken. It then moves to an arpeggio very much in the style of [[Tomorrow's Harvest]] with a palindromic structure. It is very similar to the arpeggio in [[Gemini]] in reverse, but not identical (it is in a Dorian mode rather than a minor key.)
