When I don't know what to do I just let the machine do its thing.

i like the end product, whatever it is

It's like the digestive track of a robot!

I like this!  I think I was ready to call it a day when the track was 60% complete, but I'm glad I stuck around because those quiet tones at the end were refreshing.  great stuff!

Your gifs are always on point, but this one very particularly hits it on the head.

What a trip.  I like.  smile

This is far more engaging than I expected. Very cool stuff going on. Can I ask what synth/machine you were using (or rather, was using you to allow this piece to be created lol)?

It's made in Reason. 3 Thors and many LFO's. I wrote the automation for one of the synth's level and I believe for some parameter of the delay. I recorded a few seconds of generated material that I time stretched beyond the generated action, so I would say 99% of my clicks lended towards generative actions smile

If you're interested in more of that kind of material you can get these:

Cheers! smile

oops! second link was actually https://yang.bandcamp.com/track/20130909
The album is diverse, most isn't generative or experimentally synthetic smile
