Dance ye merry wench
Salt is an abbreviation of the word `Saltarello’ which is an Italian Medieval dance circa 14th century. The dance is a fast pace where skipping is the dancer’s motif.
The inspiration for `Salt’ is from the Medieval players group `Hesperus’ who probably did the greatest rendition of a `Saltarello’ back in 1991. Use a search engine and type in `Hesperus Saltarello’ and you’ll find some goodness. I could not find their rendition on Youtube.
However, the track `Salt’, sounds like a primitive ringtone.
There are sound samples in there that were to `soften the stench of aged MIDI cheese’ but unfortunately I cannot recall where they came from. I worked so quickly on making these songs that things like sound files are just a fleeting blur.
Recollections: It was one of the songs re-recorded at the same time as `Longing Is…’ The timeframe where I intended to make `Orchid’ a vicious tome of intimacy. Aside from that, I have no other memories relating to `Salt.’
