Though the album has three authors, this track sounds like pure Delia.

The bass instrument

The piece is constructed of three voices: the melody, the chords and the bass line.

The melody and chords are played on something close to a sine wave with a 7.5Hz tremolo (a regular variation in the volume of the note) and the bass on something similar but without tremolo or vibrato.
