bloat is a convoluted mashup of stRUwl-2 and blo(o)t. The former is extended across the harp and multiple layers of percussion, while the latter is filtered, attenuated, and compressed. While surface elements from both the electric guitar and ensemble pieces are detectable, the character of bloat is quite distinct from either.
