Landing Gear features Abby's percussive guitar work contact-miked with a pair of headphones to give it the bass-drum-like woof. Also featured is a Portuguese square drum called an adufe.

Anti-plectrum

A reversed piano sample characterizes this soundscape as well as a home brewed instrument that we call the anti-plectrum.
