Chords of Orion (Bill Vencil), the ever-present, effervescent Frippertonics guru-slash-YouTube-personality put a call out video on August 17, 2021 titled "Remix My Ambient Guitar Track and I will Promote YOU," in which he offered instructions along with links to the stems for his elements of the piece.
This here track is my answer to that remix challenge.
FWIW I had a really difficult time mixing it.
Perhaps I should offer my stems in kind for someone else to mix :D
Here is the link to the "Call for Submissions" video:

Here is the link to all of the submissions; my track is the LAST one added at the end of this video, that closes out the compilation:
"66 Ambient Guitar Remixes That Will Change Your Life" www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3nPscWz6E4
This track is also my first foray into the Bandcamp universe as myself-as-artist.
Otherwise you can find me on YouTube as well, and all of the video goofiness that I've done in its full glory, here: www.youtube.com/channel/UCVau_6si0Tr8e7Vrdu6U76g
I am also one of the people who brought this now-free benefit compilation album from 2016 into existence, check it out when you can: benefitraywilson.bandcamp.com
You can also find me on SoundCloud, but not for much longer.
Since I'm now here on Bandcamp, that account will disappear sooner than later, so scurry off and hear some on my older stuff.
Title and concept is from:
"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night in the which the heavens shall pass away, with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."
