Embryonic Journey (instrumental)

"Embryonic Journey" is an instrumental piece composed by Jorma Kaukonen, which originally appeared as the ninth track on Jefferson Airplane's second album Surrealistic Pillow.

Other versions of "Embryonic Journey" were recorded by Kaukonen and featured on an album sharing the song's name. According to that album's liner notes, Kaukonen composed the tune in 1963 as part of a guitar workshop in Santa Clara, and included it on Surrealistic Pillow at the band's behest. According to Kaukonen, the song "evolved from... messing around on a 12 string in drop D".
