I wanted to make the lead sound a bit distant, as the basic idea behind it 
is a sirene ala Odysseus, allthough not all seductive, but a bit obnoxious.
Didn't think about her origin ... dang now I drew an european girl for 
the cover ;)

It's meant to be something between whistling wind and male humming choir, 
a backdrop to give the lead context. It shouldn't compete, so I might look at 
this again.
