For this week's track, I created a short piano piece in Reason, and then exporting the result. I then took the piano piece into Paulstretch, where I created a dry and harmonic version of the piano file.

With a large fade out on the stretched tracks, I decided to place both of the files, and then created a reversed version of both tracks. After all of this, I duplicated all four of the tracks, and then sent each set of tracks (Forward and back) to separate mixing buses.

Two of the buses were dry, while the other two were created for rhythmic variations, with volume automation. One buses used a KHS Trance Gate & The Echo as Insert Effects, the other bus used an Alligator as an Insert Effects, with CV control coming from three Euclids and a Pulsar.

I also created a fourth track of random audio texture coming from a Rostnomo Random Synthesizer, into a T2 Phaser, a KHS Chorus and a KHS Delay. The synth was triggered using random bits of MIDI.

On the Mixer insert effects, I used a Mars Peaks Reverb. After mixing, panning and equalizing all of the tracks, I made the final render. For Mastering Effects, I used a RE-2A Amp, an EVE-MP5, a MClass Stereo Imager and an Ozone.
