If you listen closely the five tones from Close Encounters of the Third Kind are almost in there.

• play
• pause
• min volume
• max volume

Whoa, how'd you get the engine sound at 2:00? I was imagining myself with some coffee among the pines, and that part made my imaginary self look up.

Love the instrumentation going on this. Hear the close encounters cleverly hiding away in the guitar.

Thanks!
The engine sound is a stretched sample of an electric guitar power chord, messed up with lots of virtual effects.
I was aiming to get close to the atmosphere of one of my favorite video game soundtracks - The Outer Wilds (great game as well)
