This track was mostly created in a hotel room overlooking the Detroit River. I used Samplr for just about everything you hear, including some minor processing of a recording of road construction outside the hotel.
A few sounds from Samplr were also processed using a patch I created for my new Patchblocks:

Oh man, this is amazing. I love Samplr, but this is spectacular use of it. How to make things like this? Do a youtube-based tutorial please! 
Ha, wow, thanks guys. I didn't expect much of a reaction this week. :-)
Re: Samplr, I could talk for hours about how that app is basically what I spent years trying [failing] to build with SuperCollider and Max/MSP. It feels like an extension of my brain at this point.
Very nice, I like how the gentle beat comes in in the middle, I've never used Samplr before, I'm now very intrigued
Such subtlety. Love it.
So what's the patchblock patch you speak of? I've got one but haven't really used it much tbh!
Thanks everybody!
So what's the patchblock patch you speak of?
I made a crude granular synthesis patch and ran a few loops from Samplr through it. After burying the recordings in the rest of the track, it sounds like a vaguely rhythmic auto-pan effect. You can (maybe) hear one of the loops around 2:50-3:30 mark, then at the very end 6:30-7:00. A second, faster one is around 5:00-5:50.
Not to give away my secrets... :-)
I love this too, can't really say way, just great sounds. I have samplr though haven't really used it to make a tune yet, i'll probably save that for my vacation week.
