Multi, Unus

Back for week two! When approaching this week, my intention was to try to quickly identify what to work with using a visual. I tried scatter plotting various gear/techniques against how proficient if felt or frequently I used them. While that helped me hone in on somethings, but in the end I went, to quote what
"...fuck it goblin mode."
That led me to a Torso S4 I picked up not too long ago. I would not classify myself as a "sample person," so much so, that I don't even know what I mean by that, other than I don't have a lot of experience with creating my own samples and using them outside of sampled drums kits.
A while back, while learning modular with VCV Rack, I created a patch with clocked noise sources going into some filters. That sequenced with a little randomness and ratcheting provided a kind of "microsound" drum beat that I usually gravitate towards.
As this was the only non-factory sample on the S4, I decided I'd try to create a whole song from this single sample. This was hard, as you can hear from the song's main "beat", the sample was essentially all clicks. I leaned heavily on the S4's resonant filter, which can be very recognizable, but I decided to work with within the constraints I laid down.
That's where the title comes from, "Many, one" in latin because :shrug:
If you made it to the end of this, or the song, thanks for listening and sorry for the length on both! I ran out of time to edit down the performance other than to come in under 16mb.
