Closed out last weekend's quick trip to #Pittsburgh by checking out the #NationalAviary and #PhippsBotanicalGardens, having an amazing meal at #PiccoloForno and grappa at #Grapperia, beers at #ChurchBrewWorks, all the summit views, driving up the steepest street in the country, and phew! We're all tuckered out. 🙂 Bunch more pics over at https://pixelfed.social/p/lisabattiston/826957873528362731

"The Stars are Ours (Side One: The Crossroads of Time)" closes with a #downtempo #electronica #instrumental inspired by #scifi author Andre Norton's "The Crystal Gryphon". Most of these synths were programmed on my ancient Kindle Fire HD with an old program called Caustic.

The image is an edit of a pic I took of a Stellar's Sea Eagle at the #pittsburgh #NationalAviary

It's a Skylark Duquesne rule that every album needs a Caustic techno song.
